Things have been turning nasty this week as the tension ramps up towards the fight.

The two former World’s Strongest Men nearly came to blows during a confrontation in a gym earlier on in the week, with the pair spitting on each other.

A press conference was held on Thursday and again things did not stay civil.

“Let’s f****** go right now,” Hall shouted. “Let’s step up and do it. You want to go now? Because I don’t give a f*** about the money.”

The pair then stood up and moved towards each other. Hall then sarcastically mimicked Thor by shouting ‘stop holding me back’, while moving backwards.

Both then started yelling insults at each other and Hall could be heard saying ‘you’re a scared little boy’.

Thor said: “You’re pathetic. ‘Let’s fight now’.

When someone brought up that Hall’s son was in attendance, the Brit added: “My son doesn’t care. He thinks you’re a f****** kn******.”

The Beast then mentioned Thor’s mother in his next comment and the Icelandic athlete lost it.

“Don’t ever f****** talk about my mother, you f****** a******,” he said.

Thor then threw a drink at his rival and tried to get to him, all while Hall sat in his chair with a smirk on his face.

Hall grabbed a microphone and said: “I think this interview is over because Thor can’t control himself. See you Saturday.”
