Martyn Ford has claimed he missed out on at least £1million after his fight with Iranian Hulk was cancelled.
The British star was set to finally settle his rivalry with Iranian Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi - in April this year but the fight was shelved after concerns for his opponent's " mental wellbeing". Ford was left frustrated that he had committed to six months of rigorous training without any end goal but still intends to compete in the ring.
Despite his frustration, Ford did not want to be responsible for the death of his rival if he opted to take his own life following the clash. "I lost a fortune from that fight. A hell of a lot of money," Ford said during an interview with Rob Moore. Moore quickly asked if it was in the region of seven figures, to which Ford replied: "Yes, it was a lot of money but for me it wasn't worth the gamble if he had taken his own life but that would have been 100 per cent down to me.
