SunSport exclusively spoke to 'The Mountain': "I believe I'm going knock him out in round three or four, and can see me finishing him with an elbowcut."
"But, I'm also prepared to go the distance if my opponent proves me wrong. It's okay if we go the distance. I'll win points.
Bjornsson mentioned the possibility of Hall rematch, but he's not going to let it distract him from Saturday's clash.
Bjornsson said, "My mind is on this fight." A clause in the contract states that a rematch can be an option.
"If both sides want it [then sure], I'm focused only on this fight."
Two years ago, the battle was announced after Hall was outraged by Bjornsson's attempt to break Hall's 500kg deadlift world record by just one kilo.
Since then, insults and barbs have been exchanged by both sides.
The Icelandic monolith believes that Hall and he are too far down in the line to be reconciled in the future.
Bjornsson hopes that the fight will put some of their demons behind them.
He stated that he was unsure if he would be able to call his future friends. We are not friends, but we both move forward, I hope so at least for my part. After the fight, I want to focus on other things and move on.
"I don’t see us as friends in our future, but we both move on and are happy in what ever we do."
Bjornsson, 2018 World's Strongest Man winner, is clear that he does not plan to return to Strongman.
He is open to pursuing boxing if he has the opportunity, even though he believes he can dominate Strongman again.
Bjornsson concluded that "[Strongman Return?] It's doubtful, but I believed it. I was the best person in the world, and I was naturally gifted in many of the events.
"If I wanted to, I could go back and compete at the highest level.
"But, do I really want to put my health at risk by competing with the best and getting heavier? That is something I do not see myself doing.

"The plan is for Eddie Hall to be fought this Saturday. If there are any other opportunities, we will continue boxing."
