Tyson Fury flies to Iceland to try and provoke face-to-face confrontation with Hafthor Bjornsson, but Thor is not there and so Fury heads to the pub instead
Tyson Fury and his father John Fury have flown to Iceland with the aim of provoking a face-to-face confrontation with Hafthor Bjornsson.
However, their idea has not exactly gone to plan as, unbeknownst to them, Thor is currently in Rome filming for a movie.
Fury began by posting a clip at the airport on his Instagram story: “Do you know where we are guys? Iceland.
“And you know what we’re doing here? We’re looking for Thor. Come out and fight like a man.”
Not long later, he posted a clip from outside Thor’s gym after finding out he is currently abroad.
“So we came to Iceland to fight Thor,” Fury explained, “He’s not here, so now Thor if you want any smoke with the Gypsy King, you’re gonna have to come to Morecambe Bay and find me.”
Fury and his father John then proceeded to acquire souvenir Viking hats and filmed themselves walking around proclaiming to have taken over the country.
By the end of the day, they were both in the pub having failed in their mission to track down Thor.
Fury took the time on his trip to speak to Icelandic newspaper Fréttablaðið and said: “I came here to pick a fight with Thor, but he’s not here, he ran away to Italy.
“He knew I was coming and he still left to Italy.
“So now I’ve got my Viking hat on and I’ve taken over Iceland, I’m the new king here.”
Thor responded in an Instagram video of his own.
“I’m currently in Rome filming a movie,” he said, “And guess what? Tyson Fury’s in Iceland.
“He tried to find me, couldn’t find me, because I’m not there.
“But Tyson, if your team is serious, if you’re serious about fighting me, have your team send me a contract.
“Let’s get serious and I’ll find you, I’ll come to you.”
