Iranian Hulk and Kazakh Titan will only have eight minutes to KO each other

The 'Iranian Hulk' Sajad Gharibi and 'Kazakh Titan' Djumanov Almat Bakhytovich will have just four rounds of two minutes each to try to land a knockout in their upcoming fight.

Social media stars Gharibi and Bakhytovich have agreed to a super-heavyweight boxing match which will take place in Dubai on July 31, with a star-studded undercard expected. The pair are huge bodybuilders who weigh over 630lb collectively, and will be expected to throw heavy punches over the brief contest.

Gharibi was due to face Martyn Ford in London this April, but the Brit pulled out due to concerns over his rival's mental health after a comical face-off. The Iranian strongman demanded a new opponent, and British promotion Wicked 'N' Bad have obliged with a major opportunity in the Middle East.
