Three-foot-tall Abdu Rozik lands mock punch on 6'8" giant Martyn Ford

Social media sensation Abdu Rozik clearly pays no attention to the idea of picking on someone your own size.

The three-foot-tall star was ringside in Dubai on Saturday night to watch strongmen Eddie Hall and Thor Bjornsson settle their feud. And he was joined by another giant of the ring in Martyn Ford - also known as the World's Scariest Man.

Ford is preparing for his fight next month when he is due to take on Iranian Hulk - real name Sajad Gharibi. And he flew to Dubai to support friend Hall - only to se him dropped twice en-route to a decision defeat at the hands of Bjornsson.

But before the first bell he was introduced to Rozik who shot to fame for his rivalry with another social media star Hasbulla. And Rozik threw mock punches at Ford as they pair joked around for photographers.

Rozik, who is believed to be 18, suffered from rickets as a young boy which led to his stunted growth. He has been continually linked with fighting Hasbulla in a cage fight with UFC president Dana White known to be a fan of both men. But last year Hasbulla rejected the possibility of the pair trading blows.

"Yes some people want to organise it but they won't be able to," he said during a media scrum. "Because it is too expensive and not too many people will be able to pay for it.

"And I don't want the fight at the moment, no we haven't discussed it and Dana White didn't discuss it. Abdu Rozik he is a bum and he is a singer. This fight doesn't make sense."

And last week, Rozik said he has. no interest in his rival. "I don't need him," he told The Schmo. "Hasbulla is a chicken, he is only talking and eating strawberries. Hasbulla is no good."

Rozik was later presented with a replica version of a WBC world title belt held by the likes of heavyweight ruler Tyson Fury and Scottish super-lightweight champion Josh Taylor.
