Martyn Ford has admitted he feels vindicated for pulling out of his fight with Iranian Hulk after the bodybuilder was humiliated on his boxing debut.
Ford was due to take on Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi - four months ago but the fight was first postponed and then cancelled over fears for his opponent's mental health. Ford has yet to make his ring debut but Hulk took on Kazakh Titan in Dubai last night, only to barely throw a punch while repeatedly turning his back on his opponent.
The fight was stopped at the end of the first round when Hulk was dropped by a right hook. He has since apologised for his performance, claiming he only had two weeks to train. Ford, meanwhile, took to social media to say he hopes his former rival is given the help he needs.
