TYSON FURY will be in talks with his promoter amid rumors of an exhibition bout against Game of Thrones star Hafthor Brjornsson.
The pair of 6ft 9in giants have been going back and forth verbally fuelling demand for a super-heavyweight spectacle.

Bjornsson, the former World’s Strongest Man – also known as Thor – claimed that talks were being held for an exhibition.
Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter said that nothing has been done yet but that he plans to have discussions with the WBC champion.
Warren told The Express: “There’s lots of things being said at the moment but to be honest nothing has been done.
“Nothing will get done until I sit down and have a conversation with him. He’s got his tour at the moment, so he’s travelling around the country.
“Once that’s done in a couple of weeks’ time, he has a little break in-between, so we will sit down then and have a chat.”
Fury, 33, announced his retirement from boxing in April after knocking out Dillian Whyte, 34, at Wembley.
Bjornsson (33) defeated Eddie Hall (34), in their epic match-up in Dubai a month prior.
Fury was keen on showcasing fights and Thor became an online rival.

While Warren isn’t an expert on new-school exhibition bouts but he recognizes the need.
He said: “I’ve never really done anything like that, so I couldn’t tell you if I’m perfectly honest.
“But there’s a massive interest in Tyson and it seems Thor as well. There’s nothing done so it is what it is at the moment.”
