And he pointed the camera to show a Keflavik sign - which is Iceland's largest airport.

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."

The heavyweight has sparred verbally online with the former world's strongest man, 34, which led to talk of an exhibition bout.

And Bjornsson recently demanded a contract be sent his way so that he can gear up for the fight of his life.

"I want to take this seriously and I have a huge amount of respect for Tyson Fury.

"He is one of the best if not the best heavyweight of all time and I have to go all in.

"If this is supposed to happen in November you guys need to make up your mind.

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.

But Fury's promoter Bob Arum spoke out to deny that Fury would fight Chisora for a third time.

And he instead maintained they are awaiting the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, 35, next Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
