Former World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall has been speaking about Devon Larratt stepping in his place to take on Hafthor Bjornsson next month.
The Stoke-born former strongman was forced to pull out of the fight after sustaining a gruesome bicep injury during sparring, which resulted in him having surgery to reattach the marred muscle.
Hall had been training ferociously hard to get in shape ahead of the fight, but in his words, a "lazy hook" ultimately caused the injury, shelving his eagerly anticipated fight with "Thor" for now.
That being said, Bjornsson's team moved quickly to find an opponent and Devon Larratt stepped up to the plate. The 46-year-old is a Canadian professional arm wrestler and has also served in the armed forces, widely considered to be one of the best of all-time.
