Hall claims that 30 million people tuned into his grudge match against Thor.

The 2017 World's Strongest Man, who was twice dropped, has found comfort in the fact that the fight was watched around the globe by millions. This is just like Conor McGregor's 2017 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather.

He said, "Even though I lost the fight it was a success in many aspects."

"I was talking to the promoter. In the 48 hours, which included and followed the fight, it was watched by 30 million people in total.

"You need to look at what we set out for, and we achieved it. We won the biggest boxing match of all time.

"Many people said they would not watch the fight. Let's be real, you saw the fight. It was an amazing fight, and it was thrilling.

"Lots and lots of promoters reached out to me, it was a great success."

"The fight build up was great. Although it was over-amped, overworked, I believe that both of us would have preferred to do things differently if we had the chance.

"I have seen the value of humility and respect being shown to one another. We could have had more fun, and put on a better show if we had put aside our differences.

"I think that's why we were fighting in first place, to set aside our differences."

Hall was bitterly disappointed by the defeat of Thor, but he is eager to share the ring again with the Icelandic giant.

He said, "I want the rematch. It was a great experience to get in the ring with you and throw bombs at one another.

He will never forget that 2017 was his last year of innocence. He will never forget that he was robbed in 2017.

"I wanted to punch him in his face for a while and finally got the chance. It has helped me to move past a lot. It's what it is."

Hall, 34, wants to honor a pre-fight tattoo bet in order to obtain the Games of Thrones Star.

He stated that "we never had anything formal in written; I tried to, I reached back to the promoter several times trying to get a Zoom Call with Thor but it never happened."

"There are no restrictions on how big, what colour, or where except for what is said on YouTube.

"I think it's going be used as an instrument for the rematch, and I would do that."

"I would not do the rematch if Thor hadn't gotten the tattoo. It will happen, it will take me my time.
