Iranian Hulk has admitted he turned down a lucrative bodyguard job worth £180,000-a-year in Dubai over fears of being homesick.
The 30-year-old - real name Sajad Gharibi - is currently preparing to make his boxing debut against Martyn Ford in the UK on April 30. He recently travelled to Dubai to complete media duties for the event where he clashed with Ford and was 'sent flying' during an angry confrontation.
Gharibi has insisted he will never leave his homeland despite claims he will move to the UK as a refugee. "Since 2016 I have had many job offers from Dubai in body guarding, especially when I was heavy as they offered me $20,000 a month - but I didn't want to go," he said during an interview on Iranian national TV.
