Fury, 33, said: "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."

Bjornsson recently beat strongman rival Eddie Hall, 34, in their gigantic grudge match in March but he has not returned since.
Fury meanwhile retired from boxing in April after knocking out Dillian Whyte, 34, at Wembley.
But it appears to have lasted just four months as he announced his return to complete a trilogy with Derek Chisora, 38, who he twice beat.
The fight is rumoured to be targeted for December in Wales, which would dash Bjornsson's hopes of an exhibition.
