HAFTHOR BJORNSSON didn't rule out the possibility of fighting in a 'proper' ring within one year after his victory over Eddie Hall.
The Game of Thrones star, nicknamed Thor, won bragging rights over his Dubai strongman rival.
Bjornsson (33), scored two knockdowns and recovered from an eight count standing by to win the super-heavyweight competition.
Two years of intense boxing training culminated in him winning the fight of his dreams.
Thor was not willing to rule out a return to boxing, but teased a move towards the traditional side.
He said to iFL TV, "I love this journey. I'm still learning. I would say that I am OK for a beginner. I have learned a lot in a very short time.
HE'S HALL RIGHT
Eddie Hall speaks out about Bjornsson's loss and shows off his horror-cut eye.
"Who knows where I'll end up in one year." What can I do to improve my performance in the next year?
"Maybe I can fight good guys. Who knows? Your mind is the only thing that can stop you. I believe I can take it as far as I want.
"And as long I enjoy this journey, I'll continue to go."
Bjornsson will close the chapter with Hall, but is equally open for a sequel.

After six rounds of exhibition, the couple unconvincingly hugged and exchanged words.
Bjornsson said: "I congratulated and I said, Thank you very much'. He fought hard, which I believed was true
"I told him that he was the only one who's dropped me in a ring. I won't go into detail about what he said but this is what I said.
