Fans convinced Iranian Hulk's rivalry with Martyn Ford is fake after "staged" bust-up

Iranian Hulk has denied claims he has faked a rivalry with Martyn Ford ahead of their fight next month.

Iranian Hulk- real named Sajad Gharibi- and Ford will finally settle their war of words on April 30 at The O2 Arena in their respective boxing debuts. A fiery confrontation unfolded at the first face-off in Dubai with the British star sending his rival 'flying', after being visibly angered.
