Tyson Fury provided sparring training to Games of Thrones icon Thor Bjornsson in order to get Brit ready for the fight against Dillian Whyte

HAFTHOR BJORNSSON offered to spar with Tyson Fury as part of preparations for the Dillian Whyte fight.

Fury will make his UK debut on April 23rd at Wembley, and will face Whyte, a mandatory WBC challenger.

After meeting Bjornsson in December, Game of Thrones star Thor is now ready to assist the Gypsy King at training camp.

TalkSPORT was informed by him that they had discussed training, what was happening, his future plans, mine, and the future plans for me. He also spoke out about what's ahead for him and for me.

"Just bits and pieces. Tyson Fury is a very nice man and I have great respect for him as both a fighter and as a person.

He seems like a very decent man. They had many nice conversations and even discussed training together.

"I know that he's starting his camp, and I would love the opportunity to be there and participate in that if it is possible and offered."

Thor, 33, is about to face Eddie Hall, 34 on Saturday in Dubai.

Fury, 33 years old, has bragging rights against Whyte, 33. But Fury still has the support of Bjornsson from Iceland.

Thor stated that Tyson Fury was undefeated and the best heavyweight fighter in the world at the moment. Tyson Fury is 100 percent and wins by knockout.

This 6'8in tall powerhouse has been training for Hall since almost two years. He was inspired by some of the best boxers along the way.

Thor said: "I saw a lot different boxers.

"The ones that are currently active, old boxers such as Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, and [Evander] Holyfield.

"Now people such as Tyson Fury, Teofimo and Canelo. I know him a lot and he's an amazing fighter, GGG (Gennady Golovkin).

"I love watching these great players and try to learn as much from them as possible.

"I'm a big fan of boxers but these are the main names that I look up on YouTube."
