Probably every exerciser has heard that Thor set a new world record in deadlift with 501kg on May 2, 2020. He only broke the old record by 1kg, the one held by Eddie Hall from 2016. But not everyone can handle the way Thor set the record...

Normally, records have to be broken at official races. However, due to the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19, they are still postponed this year, so Thor decided to break the record in his gym with an official judge and live broadcast. This of course happened, but Eddie doesn't like this approach. It's even gotten to the point of no return. Thor has sent Eddie a clear message:

Coresports just offered me a seven-figure contract. I've already signed. I know you got the same offer. I'm ready. Are you ready, Eddie?

And what did Eddie say? Well, if you're expecting him to stand up to Thor, you're expecting the right thing!

Well, I hope you enjoyed the trailer as much as I did. I won't beat around the bush. I got the sign here, I got the contract. I'll sign it right now. My signature's on it. Thor's is under the paper. I'm sending it in, and there's no backing out. So, Thor, are you happy? Your dream has come true. You get to take on the guy who beat you at World Strongest Man 2017, the guy you called a cheater.
So I hope you're happy. I am, because this way I can make a bunch of money and get in the ring with you and make money, which is absolutely fantastic. I hope you're enjoying being the hero of your gym right now. Because everyone knows you don't have the balls to stand up in a real competition and replicate what I did. That's all I need to say. I have a little personal message for you. I'm gonna talk man to man.
World Strongest Man 2017, I've trained for this competition like no one has ever trained before. And I totally dominated it. And just like I did then, I'm gonna do it again for this match. I'm gonna train for it like I've never trained before. I'm going to venture into uncharted waters. And I want you to be there. I'm gonna keep swimming and swimming. And I can guarantee you, nothing matters to me anymore.
I won't back down. And I know you're gonna back off because you're a pussy. But I'm gonna keep swimming and swimming. And you won't be able to take your sidekicks with you. It's gonna be a dark, scary place. And it's all gonna end in that ring. That's where you're gonna get a real lesson from me. Okay, Thor? Good luck. You're gonna need it damn bad. And I'll see you in the ring. For everyone else: Love, The Beast

Whether this is well-planned marketing to attract a lot of viewers and make a lot of money, it doesn't change the fact that we have a lot to look forward to! The fight is sure to be spectacular and there is nothing like it in the boxing ring!
