Martyn Ford has piled on 25lb since ill-fated Iranian Hulk fight collapsed

Martyn Ford has put on 25lb since stepping on the scales ahead of his cancelled fight with Iranian Hulk in April.

Ford was set to make his maiden boxing appearance after months of training by settling his rivalry with social media star Iranian Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi - at London's O2 arena. But the fight was abruptly cancelled after weeks of build-up, with Ford electing to pull the plug on the event after serious concerns for his opponent's physical shape and mental health.

Since the ill-fated showdown was abandoned, Ford has yet to find himself a replacement opponent and has currently suspended his boxing training programme to focus on his film career and normal fitness regime. Ford has now displayed a much larger frame in his most recent social media post having starred in Netflix series The Sandman.
