Eddie Hall challenges Thor Bjornsson to boxing rematch after Dubai loss

'The Mountain' beats 'The Beast' by unanimous decision in super heavyweight clash

Eddie Hall called for an immediate rematch following his unanimous defeat to long-time rival Thor Bjornsson in Dubai on Saturday.

Hall was left with a nasty cut to his left eye following the super heavyweight clash at the Dubai Tennis Stadium, with 'The Mountain' Bjornsson declared the winner on the scorecards.

"You know what, I can take things as a man. It is what it is, that's boxing," Hall said in an Instagram post.

"At the end of the day I've just fought the biggest man on the planet in a boxing match. I'd like to see anyone else get the balls and do that.

"It's been a hell of a journey; I've enjoyed it and hopefully there's a rematch and we can do business again."
