Eddie Hall called out for a rematch against Hafthor Björnsson

Going into the fight with Hafthor Björnsson, Eddie Hall seemed pretty confident of getting the job done come fight night. However, Hall was handed a defeat at the hands of 'The Mountain'.

Hall started off strong but slowly started to slow down, and the fight became seemingly one-dimensional. Following his loss, the Brit had a message for all of his supporters. During a post-fight interview, the former strongman suggested that he'd just fought the "biggest man on the planet" and that he'd hope for a rematch.

"Hey guys, obviously you've seen the result, a loss on my behalf. But you know what? I can take things like a man, it is what it is, that's boxing. End of the day, I've just fought literally the biggest man on the planet in a boxing match. I'd like to see anybody else get the balls and do that. It's been a hell of a journey, I've enjoyed it, hopefully there's a rematch and we can do business again."
