CoreSports Founder and CEO Don Idrees thought that replacing Hall with another strongman “didn’t make sense.” Larratt, one of the most decorated arm-wrestlers in the world, got the nod as Hall’s replacement. The bout shifted from “The Heaviest Boxing Match in History” to “One of the strongman G.O.A.T.s against an arm-wrestling G.O.A.T.” The tale of the tape is below:
Hafthor “The Mountain” Björnsson
