The long awaited collision between Eddie Hall and Thor Bjornsson is almost upon us, and we have everything you need to know, including UK start time and much more.
After five years of animosity and rivalry, the two former world strongest men will finally trade songs in the ring. ‘The World’s Heaviest Boxing Match’, which takes place over six, three-minute rounds, will put together two men who do not like to lose.
The couple reached the pinnacle of their field in Strongman, and at the 2017 World Cup, the rivalry ignited. Hall emerged as a champion, but Thor rained down on his parade, claiming that the Briton only won because of bad officers and not allowed repeats.
This angered the “King of the Strongmen” who promised to return to the Game of Thrones star to ruin his moment. And now the two finally get their chance to settle their differences. On March 19, at the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Stadium, the two men will fight it out, and in all likelihood, someone will be knocked out.

Where can you watch Eddie Hall vs Thor Bjornsson?
Perhaps the most interesting element of this contest is that we have no idea what Hall is bringing. His arch-nemesis has been remarkably coordinated looking for his size and talented through his three games to date. In comparison, Hall has not had a single fight yet. That might play a massive factor on the night, but from a positive perspective, he at least goes in with the surprise element.
Surprisingly, the boxing match has no UK TV deal. But it is available to watch for free via the streaming service Segi TV.
How much does Eddie Hall vs Thor Bjornsson cost?
Fight Week began in an explosive manner. The two elite athletes had to be separated from security after their face-off became a bit too heated. Hall’s temper began to fly before he made a terrible threat.
The powerhouse said, “If you touch me, I will bite your nose.”
The 34-year-old then asked his competitor to come outside before spitting in his direction, which ‘The Mountain’ then did in return.
Fights like this usually cost a fortune on PPV, but luckily for the fans, Segi shows the match for free.
Is there anything to look at on the Eddie Hall vs Thor Bjornsson Undercard?
Usually, these mega-cards are stacked with a myriad of undercard battles full of prospects who want to make their names in front of a large audience. But on this occasion, there is not a single match apart from the main event.
Fans can switch off the power and get directly into the set-up for this monstrous collision. With a combined weight of 683 pounds, the seismic force in the ring will exceed anything we’ve ever seen.
A half-decade-long grudge comes to this–18 minutes to complete the score. Hall and Thor will exchange many shots until the contest is over.
