Beloved Game of Thrones actor and former World's Strongest Man Hafthor Bjornsson will take on arm wrestling star Devon Larratt in a boxing match this weekend.
The Hafthor Bjornsson vs. Devon Larratt fight will take place on Saturday, September 18, 2021 as the headliner of a stacked CoreSports: Fight Night 3 card at Sports City arena in Dubai, UAE. As per the rules, there will be six rounds of three minutes each in the non-exhibition bout. There will be no headgear; gloves will be of 12 ounces, and knockouts will be allowed.
'The Mountain' was originally set to fight another former World's Strongest Man, Eddie Hall. However, the latter suffered a bicep injury during training, and had to be replaced by Devon Larratt.
Hafthor Bjornsson has none of the rivalry with Devon Larratt that he had with Hall. In fact, he is close friends with 'No Limits', and the two have shared some fun moments arm-wrestling together in the past.
However, that did not stop them from getting into a bit of trash-talk at the press conference. They promised to break each other's nose in the fight ,and wagered $5,000 on the bet.
Bjornsson tipped the scale at 323 lbs. (146.5 kg), which is at least 110 lbs. (50 kg) less than what he weighed before he got into boxing. Devon Larratt weighed in at 272 lbs. (124 kg).
