Martyn Ford piles on 9lb in less than a week despite being at his “fittest ever”

Martyn Ford has put on 9lbs in under a week despite claiming he is in his "fittest ever" shape as he continues to train for a potential boxing debut.

The British star is currently in training in hope of finding a new opponent for a boxing debut after his fight with Iranian Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi - was shelved at late notice. Ford lost 60lbs to leave himself in perfect shape to compete in combat sports, but claimed he was "bigger than ever" after packing on more muscle.

Ford has since posted an update for fans on Instagram posting a picture in the gym, with the caption: "'How's training going?' Me: 'Oh yes, amazing, feeling fittest I have ever been'. 'How much weight have you lost?' Me: 'Mmmm I've put on 9lbs on in six days.'
