The man known as Thor was victorious over his former rival strongman after two knockdowns, six rounds and a victory.

Ford was called the "world's most dangerous man" and was present at the ring to witness his friend Hall being beaten.

The 6ft 8in-tall bodybuilder will make his boxing debut against 'Iranian Hulk' on April 30, and a win could lead to a fight with Thor.

SunSport spoke with Bjornsson (33), a Reign Total Body Fuel fighter. He said: "He must fight first obviously and win fight. Which I believe he will.

FORD FOCUSSED

Martyn Ford is ready to fight Thor, after being left 'gutted" by Hall's loss.

"We can certainly look into it. "I haven't really looked into him, his ability box and all that.

"I believe he has been boxing training for at least the same amount of time as Eddie and me, even though I don’t know.

"But it could be an interesting fight. Something that fans will want to watch 100 percent.

"He is very fan-friendly, and Eddie would love to beat him."

Ford, 39, has already opened the door for Bjornsson to fight, but Hall would need permission first.

After his huge grudge match win, Thor traveled to Denmark. This brought an end two years of tortured training.

The 6ft 9in former world's most powerful man wants to return to boxing in the summertime. He hopes that it is not the only one.

Bjornsson stated: "I feel great. I came out with no injuries and 100 percent healthy. So I would like to fight in six months.

"I want to be active. I would be happy for this summer to fight, honestly. Let's just be real, I don't get any younger.

"I am 33 years old and I must stay active if I want to make a career out of boxing.
