The former strongmen, both of whom have previously bagged World\u2019s Strongest Man titles, have been at odds for years now, dating back to Hall\u2019s victory at the 2017 World\u2019s Strongest Man competition.<\/p>\n
The controversy stemmed from the Viking lift section of the contest, where one of Bjornsson\u2019s reps was voided after what was judged to have been an illegal move. Hall went on to win the competition, but Bjornsson claimed that he was \u201crobbed\u201d of the victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cHafthor Bjornsson and his entourage have been smearing my title and the referee\u2019s reputation for the last three years,\u201d Hall said in 2020\u00a0<\/span>(via Yahoo Sports)<\/a>. \u201cAnd because he was the mountain from Game of Thrones and he was a huge TV star, people listened, and people believed him.\u201d<\/p>\n The rivalry escalated further in the lead-up to Bjornsson\u2019s 501kg deadlift in May 2020, a lift that surpassed Hall\u2019s own whopping 500kg record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Hall contested that Bjornsson\u2019s lift shouldn\u2019t count since it took place in his home gym in Iceland rather than in an official competition, leading\u00a0Bjornsson to challenge Hall to a fight.<\/p>\n And here we are.
