Life has changed pretty drastically for 2018 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) Hafthor Björnsson in the last year. He entered fatherhood after celebrating the birth of his son. He is no longer a competitive strongman but a full-time boxer preparing to fight his rival, 2017 WSM champion Eddie Hall in Las Vegas, NV, in September 2021.

And his training gained a significant increase in cardio alongside some of the fittest athletes in the world, including 2012 Fittest Woman on Earth® Annie Thorisdottir.
