And boxing fans are intrigued to see how the two giants fare, with both men shedding several stone to get in tip-top shape.

But 6ft 8in Bjornsson, who starred on TV show Game of Thrones as Gregor Clegane, believes he is in the ascendancy ahead of the highly-anticipated fight.

The 2018 World’s Strongest Man winner already has boxing experience with a couple of bouts under his belt.

And Bjornsson reckons he knows exactly when AND how Hall will hit the canvas.

‘The Mountain’ exclusively told SunSport: “I truly believe I’m going to knock him out in the third or fourth round, and can see myself finishing him with an uppercut.

“But I’m also willing to go the distance if he proves me wrong and comes in tough and ready and in shape. If we go the distance I’ll win on points, it’s OK.”

Bjornsson also revealed the possibility of a rematch against Hall, but he is not letting himself get distracted by it before Saturday’s clash.

Bjornsson added: “My head is focused on this fight. In the contract there’s a clause saying a rematch is an option.

“If both parties want to do it [then sure], but I’m focused on this fight.”

The battle was first announced two years ago after Bjornsson enraged Hall by breaking the Brit’s world record 500kg deadlift by one single kilo.

Barbs and insults have been traded by both parties ever since.

And the Icelandic monolith reckons he and Hall are too far down the line to reconcile in the future.

However, Bjornsson is hopeful the fight will lay some demons to rest for both men.

He said: “[Future friends?] Not friends but we both move on, I really hope so, at least on my end. After the fight I want to move on and focus on other things.

“I don’t see us as friends in the future, but definitely both of us move on and be happy in whatever we do.”

As for Bjornsson’s sporting future, the 2018 World’s Strongest Man winner is adamant he has no plans to return to Strongman.

And depending on ‘opportunities’, he instead hopes to forge forward in the boxing world – even though he reckons he could dominate Strongman once again.

Bjornsson concluded: “[Strongman return?] I doubt it, thought I believe I could. I was the best in the world and I was naturally gifted in most of the events.

“If I really wanted to, I could return and compete and be the best at the highest level again.

“But do I want to risk my health competing against the best, getting heavier again? I don’t see myself doing that.
