Martyn Ford nearly ripped a huge weights machine off the floor during a gym workout as he continues to prepare for a potential boxing debut.
The British star was preparing for a heavyweight bow against Iranian Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi - but the bout was shelved just weeks before the first bell. Ford was extremely frustrated with the news after having followed a strict boxing training plan for six months, but he will continue to train in anticipation of a new date.
Ford has now posted on Instagram footage of himself pulling on a weights machine, with the caption: "Coach: 'OK, we need to work on explosive power, I want you to pull this as hard and as fast as you can'. Don't worry, we will put 80kg a side on, so it will have enough resistance to slow you down. Me: You sure? On the bright side these machines are solid as hell."
