Martyn Ford responds to Iranian Hulk's steroid allegation after cancelled fight

Martyn Ford has denied rival Iranian Hulk's allegation that he used steroids in the build-up to their ill-fated fight.

Ford was set to make his boxing debut against Iranian Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi - but the fight was shelved at short notice. Gharibi later hit out at Ford suggesting he was to blame for the clash and demanding he is found a new opponent.

After initially hitting out at Ford, Gharibi later alleged Ford was given permission to use steroids for their boxing clash, when he said: "He is also getting steroids based on his DNA type. Steroids are forbidden in boxing but Martyn Ford is so precious that they allowed him to use them. He gets almost 8ml of steroids per day."
