Hafthor Bjornsson and Tyson fury took time to take some pictures prior to the event.
It is not everyday that two men standing 6-foot-9 get a chance to measure up against each other.
On Wednesday, that is what we saw when Hafthor Bjornsson got the chance to meet WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The duo got together for a photo session during an event where Fury was speaking. The two compared height to see who was taller and posed for some shirtless photos.
Bjornsson took to Instagram to shared a slideshow of pictures that were taken.
“Peak performance male athletic body shape vs me… all jokes aside what an honour meeting @gypsyking101 tonight and going to one of his shows! Looking forward to learning more from the champ himself in the near future! 🦾”

Hafthor Bjornsson has gone through an incredible physique transformation as he has gone from strongman to boxing. The former World’s Strongest Man hs lost a significant amount of weight and now sports a shredded physique. As he continues to prepare for his fight against Eddie Hall, Bjornsson met Tyson Fury, who could share some pointers.
Bjornsson and Hall are expected to meet early in 2022. This was a bout that was supposed to take place back in September but Hall was forced to postpone after suffering a torn triceps. Bjornsson has appeared in the ring three times this year in preparation for his match against Hall.
It began with a bout against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward followed by English heavyweight Simon Vallily. Bjornsson handled the exhibition fights well before entering September. Devon Larratt stepped in for Hall to face Bjornsson in their scheduled match. This was another victory for Bjornsson as he continues to prepare for Hall.
Tyson Fury is the right man to meet. He is considered the best heavyweight in the world and currently holds the WBC title. Fury had been hoping to face Oleksandr Usyk next but has been ordered to defend his title against Dillan Whyte.
Fury is coming off a victory via knockout in the 11th round during his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder. He will return to the ring soon to defend his title and keep his standing as the best heavyweight right now.
This was a great moment for Hafthor Bjornsson as he got a chance to meet one of his favorite boxers. Tyson Fury is a huge name in boxing and Bjornsson is trying to make an impact as well. One thing that we know is that there was a lot of size and muscle in that room when the two got together.
