Thor Bjornsson sets out conditions for Eddie Hall's tattoo after winning fight

Thor Bjornsson has urged his rival Eddie Hall to go through with the tattoo bet that they agreed on before their fight.

Bjornsson outpointed Hall over six rounds when the pair fought in Dubai earlier this month. Hall said ahead of the fight that he would have his former strongman rival's name tattooed on his back if he lost.

Over 10 days on from the fight and Hall is yet to address his tattoo bet with Bjornsson. The Icelandic strongman laid out the conditions for Hall's tattoo in a recent YouTube video after Hall said he would only get the new ink if Bjornsson agreed to a rematch.

"It's nice to hear that you are going to honour your bet, Eddie. It's nice to hear you are going to give $20,000 to a charity and you want to get a tattoo, but I got a bit confused by your video," he said.

"If I want to refresh my memory, you said that you were going to get the tattoo if I sign the rematch clause. You lost the fight and you're supposed to get the tattoo. I know you want to take your time and do it on your time, I respect that but don't take too long.

"Let's get this done within a month at least. I'll give you time but let's not drag it out too long. You need to get this tattoo done, where I don't care, size I don't care, colour I don't care. Just get it done so it's readable."

"People should be able to read the tattoo, that's it. I don't care if it's on your foot, calf, ass or under your hair, just as long as you can show people you got the tattoo. Honour your words, myself and the fans are all excited to see that done."

Bjornsson added that he would be willing to rematch Hall in a few years if the Brit can put together some wins inside the ring. 'The Beast' was competing for the first time in their fight whilst Bjornsson already had three bouts under his belt.

Addressing who his next opponent could be, Bjornsson said that former strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski or the 'World's Scariest Man' Martyn Ford are two potential opponents.

After some fans called for the 6'9" giant to fight either Jake or Logan Paul, he said: "I heard also people also say that I should fight Logan Paul and even Jake Paul. I'm willing to look at everything as long as you guys are behind me and as long as you guys think that's the right move."
