And their mission was to "find" Game of Thrones star Bjornsson following talk of an exhibition bout.
But after failing, Fury said: "Thor, considering you're not here and you've left Iceland to me, I am the new Viking.

"Tyson Fury's in Iceland, he tried to find me, couldn't find me because obviously 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, lets get serious and I'll find you.

Fury would then be in line to challenge the winner in what would be a first-ever heavyweight unification in the modern four-belt era.
