EDDIE HALL continued preparations for his upcoming fight against Hafthor Bjornsson with a gruelling tethered swimming workout.
The British behemoth uploaded a video to Instagram showing him swimming against the grain in an outdoor mini-pool to get in shape for next year’s highly-anticipated Las Vegas battle.

Despite the questionable weather, Hall looked to be in top spirits as he plunged into the water before giving his body a hard workout for half an hour.
Hall wrote on Instagram: “30 mins swimming this morning @163kg Bodyweight.
“Big thanks to @ricky_payne for supplying the swim spa, hot tub and cold tub.”
Hall has already shed a massive 22lbs during lockdown as he looks to get in tip-top shape.
At his heaviest, Hall weighed a mammoth 30 stone as he won World’s Strongest Man in 2017.
But the 32-year-old is now at a lighter 25-and-a-half stone after swapping heavy lifts for faster reps and extra cardio.
Rival Bjornsson has also been shedding weight after breaking Hall’s deadlift world record last month.

The Icelandic giant, who played Ser Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane in Game of Thrones, lost an incredible 40 pounds in just over three weeks.
Bjornsson looks to be fully concentrating on the boxing match instead of strongman competitions after announcing his shock retirement from World’s Strongest Man.
And with Hall and Thor both having prior experience in the ring, Sin City could be set to serve up a memorable fight in September 2021.
