HATRED: Eddie Hall backs himself to beat Hafthor Bjornsson in street fight but admits boxing rematch is dead
Eddie Hall has confidently stated that he believes he would emerge victorious in a street fight against Hafthor Bjornsson. The rivalry between the two strongmen has been intense, marked by their infamous boxing match last year, where Bjornsson secured a narrow victory. Despite this, Hall feels that a different setting, like a street fight, would favor his raw strength and aggressive style.
In a recent interview, Hall expressed his frustrations about the boxing rematch, declaring it “dead.” He cited ongoing differences and a lack of motivation to continue pursuing a boxing bout with Bjornsson. Hall noted that the initial excitement around their rivalry has waned, and with both men moving on to other projects, the rematch seems unlikely.
Hall’s confidence in a street fight stems from his extensive background in strongman competitions, where he has faced and defeated some of the toughest competitors in the world. He believes that the absence of boxing rules would allow him to leverage his physicality more effectively, as he feels better suited for a no-holds-barred scenario.
Meanwhile, Bjornsson, known for his height and reach, has maintained that his boxing skills would still give him an edge, even in an unregulated environment. The two have traded barbs on social media, keeping the rivalry alive, but with Hall now shifting focus away from boxing, it appears the next chapter in their saga might not involve a rematch in the ring.
As both athletes continue their individual journeys, fans are left to wonder whether a true resolution to their rivalry will ever take place, or if it will remain a tantalizing “what if” in the world of strongman competition.
