Iranian Hulk has shown off his huge biceps by measuring his arm with a tape measure ahead of his heavyweight clash with Martyn Ford.
The Iranian star - real name Sajad Gharibi - has a huge physique which has long been questioned with many fans accusing the star of being "photoshopped" after bursting into the limelight on social media. He stands at six feet two inches tall and weighed 390lbs at his peak.
Now the Iranian star has flexed his huge biceps on camera for fans to see on social media while wrapping a tape measure around the outside. It has previously been claimed that his biceps measure to be a bumper 30cm, and Gharibi measured them up before flexing them in front of the camera.
The 30-year-old believes his training has helped improve his endurance and stamina dramatically and has vowed to knock Ford out early on. “I am very excited for this fight, I will put everything I have got into this for the people of my nation," he said at the press conference. "I have been working on a lot more lighter and flexible workouts whereas before I was doing muscle building workouts.
"My stamina and heart rate have both improved and I am ready to do the rounds. I am just going to stick to what I am doing and focus on that. This is going to be a very difficult night for Martyn. I believe that Martyn has a very weak chin coupled with the fact I have a very strong punch and I believe I am going to knock him out.
"Believe me I trust in my power and I trust in my strength, what happened yesterday in the press conference wasn’t what I expected. I had a lot of respect walking up to him but he better be ready for my power and my punch. I think in the first round I don’t think it will go past that. First round knockout."
Gharibi has come under fire from fans after he posted training footage during his preparations with many now predicting he will be "destroyed" by Ford. The pair came to blows in Dubai when they first met with their rivalry originating from when a ring meeting was first proposed in 2018.
Ford has questioned whether Gharibi is serious about the fight and revealed the star was offered a way out of the clash. However the 30-year-old has reiterated his desire to step in the ring on April 30 and prove himself to the Iranian people.
“This is my dream to be in this fight and know this, what happened yesterday will not happen in the fight," He continued. "I have been training vigorously for this day, I have brought down my weight and put everything on the line to make this happen. Know this, I am putting everything behind me. I will do whatever it takes to make this fight."
