Iranian Hulk has sparked fears he will be homesick during his grudge fight with Martyn Ford after admitting he struggled during his trip to Dubai.
The Iranian star - real named Sajad Gharibi - will travel to the UK to challenge bitter rival Ford at The O2 arena on April 30. He has posted a worrying series of messages ahead of their showdown, even making a "wish for death" on social media.
Now he has claimed he has rejected multiple job offers from other parts of the world to remain in Iran, and he plans to die in his native country. "Firstly I must die if I endanger Iran's reputation," Gharibi said on Iranian TV. "Iran is my life and blood. I was sick in Dubai because I was so far away from Iran.
