TYSON FURY finally met his match after he squared up to Game of Thrones giant Hafthor Bjornsson.
Usually, the WBC heavyweight champion towers over his opponents, but sizes up equally with Bjornsson.
The pair, both 6ft 9in, posed topless as Bjornsson – known as ‘Thor’ – visited Fury at one of his evening with tour nights.
Fury, 33, is one of the biggest heavyweights in the world, weighing in 19st 7lb for his last fight, a trilogy win over Deontay Wilder, 36.
But that is nothing on the 23STONE Bjornsson weighs, which is only after a dramatic nine-stone body transformation.
What Fury does have over the Icelandic former strongman is a life of boxing experience, reigning as a two-time unbeaten heavyweight champion
Bjornsson, 33, meanwhile is preparing to fight rival Eddie Hall, 33, who he called out in May 2020 after he broke the Brit’s 501kg deadlift record.
Bjornsson has had three tune-up exhibition bouts in preparation for the grudge match with Hall next year.

They were against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward, 31, English heavyweight Simon Vallily, 36, and most recently Canadian Larratt, 46.
And Bjornsson is sure to have picked up some tips from unbeaten Fury, who is one of his favourite fighters.
He even claimed he would one day fight his boxing idol, even if he has no hope of winning.
Bjornsson told Muscle and Health: “I know I’d get my ass beaten against Tyson Fury today, but if I was offered that opportunity, I would not turn it down.
“The opportunity to fight someone that great would be an honour for me and I just couldn’t say no to that.
“But I would get my ass beaten, that’s for sure.
“I’d need far more experience and a few more years under my belt to stand a chance against someone that good.”
