Unfortunately, the scheduled boxing match between Hafthor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall that was supposed to take place on the 19th of September is not going to happen because Eddie Hall tore his bicep about a month ago.
Most of you already knew that, and even though Eddie Hall could not fight, a new opponent was found.
That opponent is, of course, Devon Larratt, the arm wrestling champion.
Devon only had about 6 weeks’ notice for the fight against Thor, which gives him minimal time to get in shape and master his boxing technique against Thor.
Hafthor has been training for over a year for the fight, which originally was against Eddie Hall.

However, the fight between Hafthor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall might take place once Eddie has recovered from his injury.
Eddie and Hafthor have had a lot of beef since the 2017 World Strongest Man competition, where Hafthor accused Eddie of cheating his way to the title.
Since then, both men have frequently insulted each other on social media.
Even Eddie said that Hafthor Bjornsson’s 501 kg deadlift world record wasn’t legit because he didn’t do it in real competition.
So Eddie and Thor have things to settle in the ring, and that fight might happen in the near future.

Devon Larratt is Hafthor Bjornsson’s new boxing opponent
However, Eddie Hall discussed Hafthor’s new opponent Devon Larratt who is known for arm wrestling.
Devon hasn’t had much boxing training in recent years, and Thor has been focusing only on boxing for the past year.
Eddie says all the pressure is on Thor as he is expected to win because he has had a lot of time to prepare for the fight.
However, Devon is a strong man and probably can punch really hard, so the fight might actually be interesting.
