Eddie Hall The Beast V The Mountain 2022 720p WEB-DL x264 BONE
Dubbed as the heaviest boxing match in history, in March 2022 two of the strongest men in the world took to the ring in Dubai, in what was a dramatic climax to one of the most bitter rivalries ever to hit the sporting world.
Since the fight’s announcement in 2020, former World’s Strongest Man champions Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall and Hafthor ‘Thor’ Bjornsson (better known as Game Of Thrones’ The Mountain) had been locked in a battle that was about more than just winning - it was about honour, and above all, revenge.
Eddie and Hafthor used to be close friends, forming a mutual respect and affection for each other as they competed on the Strongman circuit. All that changed, however, in 2017, when Hafthor accused Hall of cheating his way to the World’s Strongest Man title. With millions following the drama as their vicious conflict continued to play out on social media, the two world-class athletes finally agreed to settle the score in the ring.
With exclusive and intimate access to Eddie and his family in the months leading up to the fight and at the main event itself, Eddie Hall: The Beast vs The Mountain follows the highs and lows and all the laughs and tears, as Eddie balances a young family with a punishing and obsessively strict training regime, all the while battling to keep his mental health in check.
But this is not just about a present day grudge match between two giants. This is also a look back at Eddie’s personal story: that of a young man who struggled with serious mental health issues but who found a way to deal with this through extreme forms of exercise. It’s also the story of what happens when you dedicate your life to a single cause to the point of obsession, and the effect that has, both positive and negative, on those closest to you.
Can the working-class man from Stoke restore his honour and achieve the retribution he so desperately desires, against the towering Hollywood star? And at what cost?
