Hafþór Júlíus "Thor" Björnsson Bio, Updates and Pics

Here's The Bjornsson at 19!

"Young, proud and extremely motivated dad that had big dreams! His biggest motivation factor was and still is his daughter!! When I was 19 years old I got the news I was becoming a dad... my life was a complete roller coaster but once I had my daughter in my arms I completely fell in love. I was motivated to be better each day and work very hard to achieve my goals. I am so thankful for my daughter and every goal that I have reached since then. Looking forward to adding the newest family member and continuing to smash my goals out of the park! #FamilyFirst"

I know they try to hype so much that fight between him and Eddie Hall for next year, but now with Hafthor retiring completely from strongman, it will be interesting to see what he can achieve in boxing in only 1 year.
