Martyn Ford has hinted his rival Iranian Hulk is to blame for their heavyweight grudge match being shelved.
Ford was set to make his boxing debut against long-term rival Iranian Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi - at The O2 arena on April 30, but the fight has now been cancelled having already been rescheduled last month. The Iranian star was previously offered a way out of the clash and frequently worried fans with messages on social media and national TV.
The British star has now been devastated to miss out on his upcoming clash, but has reluctantly confirmed that the fight was unable to take place due to issues beyond his control. He said during an Instagram video : "This is a statement I didn't want to have to release but my fight is going to be postponed. The event is still going to take place and there is some great people and some great fights on.
