Iranian Hulk demands new opponent after Martyn Ford fight was cancelled

Iranian Hulk has demanded a new opponent after his boxing debut against Martyn Ford was cancelled.

Iranian Hulk- real name Sajad Gharibi- had been preparing to face Ford at London's O2 arena on April 30 but the fight was shelved after having already been rescheduled. Both men have been left without an opponent with Ford suggesting his rival was to blame for the late cancellation.

However Gharibi has hit out at his foe during a social media rant by insisting he was ready to compete in the ring. "From 2010 to 2014 and after I was injured, I stopped powerlifting and started bodybuilding at semi-pro level, and it’s been two years that I’ve been taking self-defence lessons," Gharibi explained during a lengthy rant.
