The excitement around the boxing match between Iranian Hulk Sajad Gharibi and bodybuilder Martyn Ford went to a different level when the two faced off for the first time. Ford and Gharibi have exchanged barbs on social media for the past several months and the rivalry quickly turned into a bitter affair. Recently, when the duo shared the stage for their first staredown it went exactly as it was expected. Sajad Gharibi and Martyn Ford came to blows on stage and had to be separated to precipitate the situation.
Sajad Gharibi and Martyn Ford will settle their beef on April 2nd in the O2 Arena in London. They met for the staredown on Thursday morning. At first, Sajad Gharibi initiated the heated exchange and grabbed hold of Martyn Ford in an attempt to take him down. They were separated and stood for the stare down once again. This time, it was Martyn Ford that got the better of Gharibi and sent the Iranian Hulk to the ground with a shove. Those around had to intervene and separate the big men to avoid the situation from escalating further.

Lol is this a joke? Unless it’s an eating contest I don’t see any chance for the Iranian lump.
If the “Hulk” as he calls himself would leave the photoshop alone, I think a lot more people would take him seriously. By the looks of this first meeting I think the Hulk is in way over his head and may just embarras himself and his country.
