Game of Thrones colossus Hafthor Bjornsson weighs in three-and-a-half-stone heavier than rival ahead of boxing fight

HAFTHOR BJORNSSON weighed in three-and-a-half-stone heavier than his next boxing opponent Devon Larratt.

Over the past year, Game of Thrones Star Eddie Hall has been training for his super-heavyweight bout with rival strongman Eddie.

They were meant to fight this weekend. Hall, however, was forced to withdraw due to a bicep injury he sustained in training.

Instead, Bjornsson (32), will face Larratt (46), in an exhibition fight in Dubai.

The Icelandic actor, who has already lost NINESTONE, weighed in at 23stone for his third bout.

Canadian Larratt weighed in at 19stone 5lb.

Bjornsson, also known as "Thor", has previously fought in two previous exhibitions to prepare himself for the grudge match against Britain's Hall.

The first was against Steven Ward, an Irish cruiserweight, 31 and the second against Simon Vallily, 36.

Hall, 33, decided against warm-ups. He called them 'fake', but revealed that they have been tested behind closed doors.

Muscle and Health was informed by him that he had been participating in some excellent exhibition fights, and not just sparring. He said that he is now getting in the ring alongside guys who are determined to knock me off my head and that's what it all about.

It's all about trying to take someone’s head off. You won't experience this unless you are actually in the ring with someone who is trying to take your head off.

You can pretend to be Thor, and have all these fake exhibition fights in which guys tell you to tickle your head and not take your head off. But that won't help you. It's only teaching you how to be tickled."
