Eddie Hall CONFIRMS he will get tattoo of Thor Bjornsson on his body in bid to secure rematch after first fight loss

EDDIE HALL has confirmed he’ll get Hafthor Bjornsson’s name tattooed on him – but only if he gets a second crack at the Game of Thrones star.

“I can see the funny side of things at the end of the day. the loss is a tough thing to take but it is what it is.”

And Bjornsson, 33, is willing to give his former pal a shot at redemption.

He said: “Understandably, he seemed a bit angry still. He lost the fight so it’s understandable as well.
