Iranian Hulk vs. Martyn Ford moved to April 30th
Originally set to settle their feud on April 2nd, the ultra-heavyweight bout between the Iranian Hulk and Martyn Ford has been pushed back.
The two behemoths faced off last month where the size difference was incredibly apparent. The face-off also saw Ford shove the Iranian Hulk – birth name Sajad Gharibi – and Gharibi attempting a takedown.

Ford has spent the last few years training and is even signed to KSW. Standing at 6’ 8” the bodybuilder and actor told fans via Instagram that he is currently 315 lbs and expects to be around that weight when he walks into the boxing ring.
Gharibi who is coming into the fight to rip Ford’s “head off,” is standing at 6’ 2” and weighs in around 390 lbs. He will also be coming in with little to no combat sports experience. By the looks of it, however, Gharibi has been training hard.
Take a look at his Instagram for more training footage.

The two are still scheduled to meet at the O2 Arena in London. However, due to a few injuries on the card, the fight will now take place on April 30th.
With an expected 20,000 fans in the arena to watch the ‘scariest man on the planet’ take on the Iranian Hulk, this is surely odd enough to spark viewership.
The broadcast platform is yet to be announced, but we will let you know here at MyMMANews once it is.
