The Beast, who was dropped twice by his old pal and at one point looked close to being finished, agreed to have Bjornsson’s name inked on him if he lost their titanic showdown.

Hall recently said: “My training partner showed me Thor’s video about getting the tattoo for the loser of the fight.

“Well, Thor, I don’t need to think things over, as I say, I think from the heart so I speak from the heart.

“So straight away, I’ll say yes to that, the loser has to get a tattoo of World’s Strongest Man, and the opposing name.

“Let’s tick that off. $200,000 each for charity regardless, let’s tick that off, that’s a goer.”

Hall, however, could opt not to get his former buddy’s name tattooed on him as the bet wasn’t a stipulation in their contract.

The 142kg behemoth took to Instagram this morning to reflect on his defeat to Iceland’s Bjornsson.

He said: “You know what, I can take things as a man. It is what it is, that’s boxing.

“At the end of the day, I’ve just fought the biggest man on the planet in a boxing match.

“I’d like to see anyone else get the balls and do that.

“It’s been a hell of a journey; I’ve enjoyed it and hopefully there’s a rematch and we can do business again.

“I want to wish everyone out there.. that you’re staying safe, staying positive and you keep moving forward in life.

“The most important thing is family; this gorgeous baby [Hall’s wife] is my rock and no matter what happens I get to go home to her and the kids.”

Bjornsson, 33, is willing to give his former pal a rematch, saying: “On my behalf, I’ve moved on. If he wants a rematch, I’m fine with it.”
