Tyson Fury vs Hafthor Bjornsson tale of the tape: How boxer and Game of Thrones giant compare amid fight talks
TYSON FURY finally met his match after he squared up to Game of Thrones giant Hafthor Bjornsson.
Usually, the WBC heavyweight champion towers over his opponents, but sizes up equally with Bjornsson.
The pair, both 6ft 9in, posed topless as Bjornsson – known as 'Thor' – visited Fury at one of his evening with tour nights.
Fury, 33, is one of the biggest heavyweights in the world, weighing in 19st 7lb for his last fight, a trilogy win over Deontay Wilder.
But that is nothing on the 23STONE Bjornsson weighs, which is only after a dramatic nine-stone body transformation.
What Fury does have over the Icelandic former strongman is a life of boxing experience, reigning as a two-time unbeaten heavyweight champion
Bjornsson, 33, beat fight rival Eddie Hall, who he called out in May 2020 after he broke the Brit's 501kg deadlift record.
Bjornsson also had three tune-up exhibition bouts in preparation for the grudge match with Hal.

Bjornsson told Muscle and Health: “I know I’d get my ass beaten against Tyson Fury today, but if I was offered that opportunity, I would not turn it down.
“The opportunity to fight someone that great would be an honour for me and I just couldn’t say no to that.
“But I would get my ass beaten, that’s for sure.
“I’d need far more experience and a few more years under my belt to stand a chance against someone that good.”
