Bjornsson revealed that he lost 110 pounds thanks to The Mountain’s diet, going from 451 pounds to a svelte 341 pounds.

"I've made a decision to move on from boxing, to not compete in boxing again, to say goodbye to boxing and just not fight again. "This is actually a very difficult thing to talk about," he says. On 31 January 2015, Bjrnsson beat a 1000-year-old record set by Orm Storolfsson at the World's Strongest Viking competition in Norway, where he carried a 10 m (33 ft) long 650 kg (1,430 lb) log for five steps Hafr was.
