Iranian Hulk's trainer has admitted the super-heavyweight tried to withdraw from his fight with Kazakh Titan just days before the first bell.
The Iranian star - real name Sajad Gharibi - was defeated in the opening round of his boxing debut against long-term rival Kazakh Titan - real name Djumanov Almat Bakhytovich as part of Wicked N' Bad's white-collar event in Dubai. It became quickly clear that Bakhytovich was much better equipped to win the fight with Gharibi not even fit enough to throw a punch.
And the Iranian's trainer Hamzeh Moradian, who had stepped in to help him shortly before the fight, has admitted he didn't have enough time to help him. "After we met and I realised that Sajad’s agent knows nothing about sports and has signed a contract with this boxing company in Dubai and Sajad is supposed to go and fight," he said in an Instagram video after the embarrassing defeat.
