Hafthor Bjornsson has already stepped in the boxing ring for a real fight, his debut. Although not professional, the fight marked the birth of the 2018 World Strongest Man as a boxer.
He fought Steven Ward, a British professional boxer in a three-round fight held in Dubai.
The debut of Bjornsson was very much anticipated by the fans especially to those who follow the rivalry between him and his future opponent Eddie Hall.
It was a mismatch in height and weight. Bjornsson was way heavier and taller but Ward is a professional boxer. He used his experience inside the ring to fight the newbie where he ended up bloodying to the nose of the World Strongest Man.
Bjornsson though did well in the early part. He showed agility despite his size and it is something to look forward when he fight Hall in September this year.
The debut, however, ended in a draw.
The experience will greatly help Bjornsson to adjust before facing his rival who is also a newbie in boxing.
They decided to finally settle their discourse inside the ring once and for all.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
