HAFTHOR BJORNSSON claimed to pull off an incredible 500 crunches in a gruelling training clip.

The Game of Thrones star dramatically lost NINE STONE throughout his journey from strongman to boxing.

Thor Bjornsson claimed to pull off an incredible 500 crunches in a gruelling training clip

And Bjornsson – nicknamed Thor – said he can now do over 500 sit ups as a result of the dramatic transformation.

He counted up to 501 and posted on Instagram: “How many crunches can you do one go? I used to get cramps after like 50…”

Bjornsson, 33, beat strongman rival Eddie Hall, 34, in their gigantic grudge match in March.

It came after he boxed in three exhibition bouts to prepare for the mammoth matchup in Dubai.

Ever since, Bjornsson has gone back and forth online with Tyson Fury, 33, fuelling demand for a super-heavyweight spectacle.

And former World’s Strongest Man Bjornsson even claimed talks were underway for an exhibition.

But Fury’s promoter Frank Warren said nothing is yet in place although he does plan for talks with the WBC champion.

Warren told The Express: “There’s lots of things being said at the moment but to be honest nothing has been done.

“Nothing will be done until I sit down with him. He’s got his tour at the moment, so he’s travelling around the country.

“Once that’s done in a couple of weeks’ time, he has a little break in-between, so we will sit down then and have a chat.”

Fury announced his retirement from boxing in April after knocking out Dillian Whyte, 34, at Wembley.

But he remains keen on showcase fights, and Thor instantly became a verbal sparring partner.

So while Hall of Famer Warren is not well versed in new-school exhibition bouts, he does recognise the demand is there.

He said: “I’ve never really done anything like that, so I couldn’t tell you if I’m perfectly honest.

“But there’s a massive interest in Tyson and it seems Thor as well. There’s nothing done so it is what it is at the moment.”
