Eddie Hall read Tyson Fury's book hours before facing bitter rival Thor Bjornsson in the boxing ring in Dubai on Saturday evening. Thor knocked Hall down twice as he would go on to win via a unanimous point decision on what was a surprisingly entertaining bout.
The two have been rivals for a number of years of competing in World's Strongest Man competitions together, with Hall pipping Bjornsson to the crown in 2017. After years of going back and forth with their rivalry, the two finally settled their differences in the ring on Saturday.
The Icelandic giant was in trouble early on when he was given a count in the second round after Hall caught him, but he recovered well and dropped Hall twice - in the third and sixth round - to get the victory on the score cards. Prior to the fight, Hall was pictured reading Fury's book - The Furious Method.
