One of the many celebrities looking to cash in on the circus fight trend is Icelandic strongman, powerlifter and actor Thor Bjornsson. The 6’9” Bjornsson, best known for playing The Mountain in HBO’s Game of Thrones, was triumphant this past weekend with a TKO over arm wrestling GOAT Devon Larratt.
The win over Larratt took Bjornsson’s exhibition boxing record to 1-0-2. Originally Bjornsson was supposed to fight fellow strongman Eddie Hall. However, Hall blew out a bicep in the lead up to the fight, which lead to Larratt being drafted in on short notice.
After beating Larratt in the first round, Bjornsson called out Hall.
