The feud between two of the strongest men in the world is over — for now.

Thor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall were featured in a six-round amateur boxing match in Abu Dhabi on Saturday night that was billed as the ‘heaviest boxing match in history’ in reference to their background in strongman competitions. Both men have earned the title of ‘World’s Strongest Man’ in recent years, with Hall edging out Bjornsson for it in the 2017 finals. The five-year rivalry began from there, and culminated in the highly anticipated showdown.

Hall was aggressive in the first round, connecting with a series of wild punches that found their target. Bjornsson remained composed and returned fire with left hands, one of which opened up a cut on the right eye of Hall. The second round saw Hall stun Bjornsson with a stiff right hand that saw his opponent stumble into the ropes. Bjornsson recovered and went to work with his jab. A brief exchange left Bjornsson on the canvas again, but that was ruled a push by the referee.

Bjornsson took over in the final four rounds, knocking down Hall three times before going to the judges’ scorecards. The 33-year-old was declared the winner by unanimous decision (57-54 x3) and awarded a ‘Titan Championship’ for his efforts.

One of the shows I enjoy watching, World's Strongest Man. What's was amazing to me was seeing vid of the weigh in and these behemoths having abs, a lot of these strong men don't.

They can always say they woke up one morning and feel like , like .. a woman. And show those ladies what strength is my going to town in the women’s power lifting and strength meets. If a secret sausage works for swimmers....
