Iranian Hulk has threatened Martyn Ford with legal action and piled the blame on his rival after their heavyweight fight was cancelled.
Ford was set to meet Iranian Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi - at The O2 arena on April 30 after the event had been rescheduled once already from its original April 2 date. The British star released an official statement which appeared to suggest that his Iranian rival was the reason for the showdown being shelved.
However Gharibi has now released a statement blaming his opponent on Instagram, captioned: "Today I heard Ford doesn't want to fight, it is not me [and] not any other fighters. I never cancelled any fight between us but he doesn't want see me again! It is against the contract and my legal team have started looking at it.
