Iranian Hulk “Ashamed” Following Match Against Kazakh Titan, Issues Apology For Performance
Iranian Hulk was defeated in the first round in his match with Kazakh Titan.
Iranian Hulk finally got the chance to step in the ring for his debut as a boxer. It did not last long as he was defeated in the first round by Kazakh Titan. After his poor performance, Sajad Gharibi issues an apology and said he was ashamed.
The fight took place on Sunday in Dubai during the Wicked N’Bad’s white-collar boxing event. It was clear from the opening bell that Iranian Hulk was not prepared and lacked any skills that could allow him to win this fight. Gharibi was unbalanced and eventually fell to the mat and the referee called the fight in the first round.
Iranian Hulk saw his scheduled bout with Martyn Ford get cancelled back in March because of concerns with his mental health. He revealed that he was disowned by his family when the video surfaced of his face-off with Ford. Now, Iranian Hulk has issued another public statement about his career in the ring.
Iranian Hulk Apologizes For Embarrassing Loss
In a recent interview after the fight, Iranian Hulk decided to make a quick statement about his performance and to his country.
“I have nothing to say but I am ashamed and I apologize to the Iranian people,” Gharibi said.
Iranian Hulk did not have much to say following the fight but his coach went into a bit more detail. According to Mirror, his coach believes that it was a bad situation.
“I just wanted to five a brief explanation about the fight. The fight was set before Sajad came to me and he signed the contract. There was no way to cancel it unless he paid a big fine for the cancellation.
“We had a bad situation. Sajad came to Tehran for his training [but] we had a financial problem, the sponsor didn’t keep their word. In short, Sajad trained with me for only two weeks and I told him he was not ready to fight. But I had to be with him because he had to fight and somebody had to coach him.”
Iranian Hulk’s coach apologized for the performance as well. He continued to explain that he believed the boxers were at the same level but there was still a short time for preparation.
“His opponent was the same level as Sajad but Sajad couldn’t do much, I am so sorry. I tried to help him but we had a really short time for it. I hope we can fix it in the future.”

Opinion: We Should Stop Supporting Fights Like The Iranian Hulk vs The Kazakh Titan
The Iranian Hulk vs The Kazakh Titan was a joke.
Now that was painful to watch. The battle between the Iranian Hulk and the Kazakh Titan did not live up to expectations. In fact, it underwhelmed tremendously. In recent years, many different athletes from other sporting events have been trying their hand at boxing. For some, boxing seems pretty straightforward. It’s a fight between two combatants, one hoping to out duel the other. In a way, that’s correct. But when we consider the boxing on display at the highest level, we begin to understand that it’s a whole lot more than that.
Boxing has been dubbed the sweet science for a reason. Anyone off the street could go at it in a emotionally induced slugfest. Heck, it may even be entertaining to a wide group of individuals. But at the end of the day, it will always miss its mark. Why? Because when two amateurs don’t treat the sport with any kind of reverence or respect, what you get is the hap hazardous battle we saw this past weekend.
To put it plainly, the Iranian Hulk did not belong inside the ring this past weekend. It was clear that he didn’t take any kind of training seriously and that he was operating outside of his depth. But at the end of the day, we can’t blame the Iranian Hulk for doing what he did. After all, when you see so many social media celebrities trying their hand at boxing these days, it really isn’t that surprising. Logan Paul, KSI, Jake Paul, all these individuals have been using boxing as a quick money grab. While they may train harder than the Iranian Hulk did for his bout, they still treat boxing as a hobby to show off to their friends and followers.
But not everyone who has been dipping their toes into boxing has been treating it without respect. The battle between Hathor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall showcased that both men took their training seriously. Bjornsson in particular went through the gamut to make sure he was prepared for his bout with his rival. He trained hard. He learned the craft and he did exhibition bouts to get a real feel for competition against actual boxers. When Bjornsson and Hall finally met in the ring it didn’t disappoint. Both men knew the assignment, and both men prepared accordingly. The battle between Bjornsson and Hall ended up being a thrilling bout.
On the other hand, we had the Iranian Hulk versus the Kazakh Titan. It was a truly lackluster display of boxing skills. And that’s putting it gently. Both men, who wing punches at each other until the Iranian Hulk simply couldn’t take anymore, turned his back and essentially gave in. Now there’s no shame in defeat. Plenty of people have tasted defeat in the sport of boxing. But what is egregious is the clear lack of preparation.
Boxing isn’t a game like other sports. In fact it’s barely a game at all. It’s two trained combatants hoping to put more damage on the other and get their hand raised in the process. People have died inside of the boxing ring. It’s not something to be taken lightly. When we have untrained competitors step into the ring and flail their arms hoping to get a knockout, it’s disrespectful to the whole endeavor. You allow people to believe that they can just step into a ring and throw hands and get some more social media likes.
The truth is, the Iranian Hulk did not belong in the ring this past weekend. In fact, it probably explains why the match between him, and Martin Ford never came to fruition. One has to think that if it did, Ford would have possibly demolished the Hulk.
While we can’t blame fans for wanting to tune into matches with big names, what we can demand is that the athletes that do compete in these events should take things seriously. The integrity of the sport isn’t necessarily in danger, but it does leave a black eye on boxing. We should be wanting to see the best of the best, or at least people who take their preparation seriously.
Bottom line, the Iranian hoax should never step foot inside a boxing ring again, unless he takes his training seriously.

Iranian Hulk vs. Kazakh Titan Boxing Match Announced: All You Need To Know
Iranian Hulk will make his debut in the ring against Kazakh Titan.
It has been two months since the fight between Iranian Hulk and Martyn Ford fell through. Now, Sajad Gharibi will make his debut in the ring against Djumanov Almat Bakhytovich later this month.
Iranian Hulk and Bakhytovich, known as Kazakh Titan, have been going back and forth on social media in recent weeks. Now, the two will be able to step in the ring on July 31 at the P7 Arena in the Media One Hotel in Dubai.
Gharibi was originally slated to settle his differences with Ford in the ring before it was called off. There was concern coming from Ford’s camp about Iranian Hulk’s mental health following an interview that surfaced showing Gharibi emotionally discussing his family. They were allegedly disappointed following a stare down between the two men.
Iranian Hulk has been back in the gym training for a fight and will now prepare for another personal bout with Kazakh Titan.
Iranian Hulk vs. Kazakh Titan Background
Iranian Hulk has been unable to get in the ring to this point but has had plenty of chances. Prior to signing his deal to take on Ford, Gharibi was initially going to make his debut in 2020 with Bare Knuckle FC.
At 6-foot-2, weighing over 175kg, Iranian Hulk has built a massive following on social media because of his unique physique. During his prep, Gharibi has shown off some insane methods to build strength in the different ways. This has allowed him to lose over 30 pounds, adding both a bit of speed and agility.
Like Iranian Hulk, Kazakh Titan is also a bodybuilder who has made his mark as an influencer. He is a champion in his home country, along with making many appearances on television.
Kazakh Titan may stand just 5-foot-7 but he weighs 115kg and is incredibly strong. He is able to bench press 150kg while deadlifting almost three times his bodyweight. Despite not competing in the ring, Kazakh Titan claims that he is an MMA master and has been waiting to make his debut. He has been calling out Iranian Hulk for quite some time now and the two seem prepared to do battle.
When a fight is made personal like this one, there is always some extra motivation for each side. The fact that each fighter will be making his debut is another element that can make this a must-see event.

Martyn Ford is Concerned Iranian Hulk Would Kill Himself If They Fought
Martyn Ford thinks Iranian Hulk will kill himself if they fought.
Martyn Ford claims to be concerned about the mental health of the Iranian Hulk stating that he wouldn’t want to be responsible for the strongman killing himself. After the sudden cancellation of their fight both Ford and the Hulk continue to deal with the fallout.
The strange roller coaster ride between Martyn Ford and The Iranian Hulk continues to truck along. While they may not be fighting any longer the two continue to hurl insults and vitriol each other’s way. You can’t blame them really. The two have made their bout personal and as such they’re having a hard time walking away.
In fact recent comments made by Martyn Ford has raised some eyebrows. Recently Ford told the Mirror that he was concerned about his would be opponent’s mental health.
Concern From a Rival
In the midst of the aftermath of their failed meeting in the boxing ring, Martyn Ford and the Iranian Hulk continue their war of words. But now a new wrinkle has been introduced to the story; a wrinkle of concern?
Apparently Martyn Ford claims to be concerned that the Hulk would harm himself if they ever fought. Ford implies that he’d beat the Iranian strongman so thoroughly that the latter would actually contemplate suicide.
“I have genuine concerns about his mental health and how he’s feeling,” said Martyn Ford. “It is who I am. I can’t fight someone who I genuinely believe can take his own life after the fight.
“As an outsider people might say, ‘What are you on about?’ But from someone who was there, who saw him and the way he crumbled. We had a face-off and it was one little push. I looked in his eyes and then turned around and said to the guys, ‘There is no fight’.
“What happened afterwards I already felt bad about, the amount he got bullied and his reaction to being bullied breaking down on National TV. Then his parents came out and said ‘we don’t want anything to do with you, you are weak’. Then on Instagram Live when he turned around and said he hates Iranians and wants to end his life. I just thought, ‘No I can’t be a part of this’.”
This rivalry has certainly taken a turn. If Martyn Ford is to be believed, he claims to be genuinely concerned about the Iranian Hulk and his mental state.
Continued Training
Despite the boxing match being called off Martyn Ford is continuing to embrace the lifestyle. Ford is still training hard and apparently still plans to fight at some point in the future.
“I am still training, only thing I am not doing is active sparring. I have switched back into its resistance and explosive power. If something does happen which I am hoping I can sign up too soon, I have been training and dedicating so much time and effort to it.”

Iranian Hulk Shows Crazy Strength By Bending Frying Pan With Bare Hands
The Iranian Hulk has made it clear that he still holds super-human strength.
Is the Iranian Hulk still frustrated over his fight being cancelled? Is this just a show of brute strength? Either way, Sajad Gharibi has made it known that he still holds super-human strength and is capable of doing some crazy things with his bare hands.
In a recent YouTube video, Iranian Hulk is seen bending a frying pan using nothing but his hands. This video was released just four days before Gharibi was scheduled to step in the ring with Martyn Ford at the O2 Arena in London.
There was plenty of drama surrounding the cancellation of this fight earlier in April. Ford claimed that it was cancelled because of “mental well-being” and “health and safety risks.” This came after a video was released of a TV interview featuring an emotional Gharibi speaking on his relationship with his family following the initial stare down with Ford.
Of course, April 30 was not the original date for the fight. It was slated to take place on April 2 but was moved to give fights more time to prepare. On April 4, Ford released a video on social media explaining that the fight night will still be on but they would not be part of it. This did not go over well with Iranian Hulk, who threatened to sue for breach of contract.
During the pre-fight preparation, Iranian Hulk was seen doing some crazy things. In November, he released videos fighting off a group of men and punching concrete walls. More recently, Iranian Hulk was being hit in the midsection with wooden boards in order to build strength in different ways.
The Iranian Hulk did not post to social media much but there was an instance where he shared a YouTube video looking extremely slimmed down while working out on a treadmill.
It is unknown if Iranian Hulk and Martyn Ford will rescheduled their fight, which has been anticipated for years now. If they do, there will be even more hype surrounding the bout after the drama that ensued. If they do not, it is clear that both fighters will continue to train and show off their strength in different ways.

Martyn Ford Says Fight With Iranian Hulk Canceled Because Of Concerns On “Mental Well-Being” And “Health And Safety Risks”
Martyn Ford shared some more information on social media about his cancelled fight with Iranian Hulk.
Martyn Ford revealed last week that his fight with the Iranian Hulk was canceled. What ford left out was an exact reasoning as to why this happened but framed Sajad Gharibi as the reason. This is something that did not sit well with Iranian Hulk as he fired back. Now, Ford is claiming that there were many concerns out of the ring.
Gharibi quickly responded following Ford’s video and shared that the cancellation came from Ford’s side. Because of this, Iranian Hulk was prepared to sue for a contract breach since it was not his decision to pull out of the fight.
Despite the back and forth between fighters, there was still no reason revealed and this left fans in the dark. Ford recently shed some light on his side via social media when one person asked point blank why the fight will not be happening.
Martyn Ford responded that there were “concerns on mental well-being and also health and safety risk involved with this matchup.”
“They say a picture speaks a thousand words. Let’s just say, what they turned up WAS NOT what was sold to us by the investors. This followed up by crying on the TV and saying that he wants to end his life. Was enough for us.”
It seems as though the cancellation did indeed come from Ford’s side but they had reasons. He is referring to the television interview that recently came out of the Iranian Hulk explaining the relationship with his family following their stare down. Gharibi became emotional when discussing how his family reacted to the situation.
Ford also shared a picture of Iranian Hulk where he is looking significantly downsized. This was to be expected as he trains in different ways to prepare for a fight but the weight he lost is eye-opening and apparently was a cause for concern for Ford and his camp.
Despite the cancelled fight, Ford has continued to train and will likely step in the ring soon. In his original video, he revealed that it will not be on April 30 but the event is still on at the O2 Arena. The main event will feature a new fight that has not been shared yet.
Martyn Ford has recently shared some dream fights, including one with The Rock, but it is unknown who his next opponent will be. Ford has also been linked to Hafthor Bjornsson, following his victory over Eddie Hall.
As of now, we have a reason as to why the fight between Martyn Ford and Iranian Hulk was cancelled. What we do not know is if Iranian Hulk will respond once again or if they will ever step in the ring. Now, we will have to wait for Ford to announce his next opponent.

Iranian Hulk Claims Martyn Ford Pulled Out of Fight: “For Me The Fight is Still On”
The Iranian Hulk calls out Martyn Ford for pulling out if they’re bout.
It appears that the Iranian Hulk is claiming that Martyn Ford pulled out of their fight. Originally it was reported that the Hulk was the one to pull out, but a recent video posted by the Iranian strongman tells a different story.
It appears that a new wrinkle has formed in the case of the recently cancelled bout between popular strength sport figures Martyn Ford and Iranian Hulk. Their much anticipated bout has now been put on the shelf. But according to the Hulk, it’s Ford who pulled out of their bout breaking contract in the process.
A great deal of hype and build up was put into the bout between the Iranian Hulk and Martyn Ford. Both men offered up training footage and Ford in particular talked up the battle with a great deal of trash talk. Ford even mentioned that he’d be able knockout Hafthor Bjornsson if the two met in the squared circle. But it appears talks of a fight with Bjornsson was premature. That’s especially true considering that the bout between the Hulk and Ford was reported canceled.
According to initial reports the Iranian Hulk was forced to pull out of the fight. While Martyn Ford never made this claim himself, that didn’t stop his fans and supporters to hurl allegations at the Hulk claiming he was running away from the fight. But it appears that a new video from the Hulk is challenging the original reporting of the fight cancellation.
Ford Pulled Out?
In a recent post to Instagram the Iranian Hulk had much to say about the fight cancellation. Chiefly the Hulk made it clear that he didn’t pull out of the fight. In fact he claims that is Martyn Ford who pulled out of their bout.
Today i heard ford dont want fight not me not any other fighters i never cancelled any fight but he dont want see me again ! its against the contract and my legal team started.
actually pretty boy cant never fight, who just hide and run away
he must have a permission from women first i cant believe opponent like him its shameful this victory isn’t honor for me
its a century joke not century fight.
The Iranian Hulk seems none too happy about the bout cancellation. It appears that he and his team could also take legal action against Martyn Ford for breach of contract.
The Generation Iron team will continue to follow this story as it develops.

Martyn Ford Announces Fight Against Iranian Hulk Is Postponed, Will He Find A Replacement Opponent?
The boxing match between Martyn Ford and Iranian Hulk has been postponed once again. Will it happen at all?
The fight between Martyn Ford and the Iranian Hulk has been postponed once again. Originally scheduled for April 2, the boxing match was moved to April 30 but will not take place anymore.
Ford took to Instagram to make the official announcement on Monday morning. This comes after months of anticipation for a fight between two men who have made it personal on multiple occasions. According to Ford, this match is no longer on the card but the event will still take place as scheduled.
“This is a statement I didn’t want to have to release but unfortunately, April 30th, my fight is going to be postponed. The event is still on Boxstar. It’s still on. It’s just my fight okay?
Now, for all those who have tickets, there is a link below and there will be more information on how you can go about that. Like I said, the event will still go ahead. There is some great people, some great fights on,” Ford said.
Martyn Ford continues to explain that this decision was out of his control. By the sound of the explanation, it seems as though the news came from Iranian Hulk’s side but it has not been released just yet. Also, Ford said that the bout will be postponed but it seems as though it is cancelled all together for now. There is no official make-up date.
“Unfortunately, mine won’t be one of them for reasons out of my control. It doesn’t take a genius to figure them all out. I don’t want to go down the route of talking about it, too much time, too much energy has been wasted. For me, personally, I’m still here. I’m still training hard.
There will be a debut, there will be a fight. I’m just not 100% sure of who, when or why. But it will happen, and nothing will change there. Thank you.”
At this time, fans can look forward to the event as scheduled but the card has taken a hit with Martyn Ford and Iranian Hulk being out. There will be a new fight put in the main event spot but that has not been released to this point.
This is not the second time that Ford and Iranian Hulk have moved the match. It makes it difficult to believe that the event will happen at any point but the two sides have certainly been training for it. They even met face-to-face and this added even more fuel to the fire.
Martyn Ford explained how he is prepared to step in the ring and will continue to train at the level he has been. It will be interesting to see who takes this spot on April 30 but also who Ford will be scheduled to take on in the future.

Iranian Hulk Says Family Disowned Him Following Face-Off With Martyn Ford
The Iranian Hulk had a difficult time discussing his family’s reaction to the face-off incident with Martyn Ford.
Both the Iranian Hulk and Martyn Ford are putting the finishing touches on their preparation ahead of their scheduled boxing match. The fighters are expected to meet in the ring on April 30 at the O2 Arena in London. The match was originally scheduled for Saturday but was pushed back. In February, the two met face-to-face and there were some fireworks.
Ford and Iranian Hulk attempted to get the better of each other during the face-off. First, Sajad Gharibi went low in an attempt to takedown Ford but the two were separated. Next, it was Ford who shoved Gharibi to the ground before security stepped in once again. According to the Iranian Hulk, this is an incident that is still impacting him.
Th Iranian Hulk recently spoke during a television interview about his family’s reaction to the incident with Ford. This apparently impacted the relationship that Iranian Hulk has with his family.
“I cannot call my family. When I returned I didn’t go to my family. I can’t talk to my father and my mother, when I spoke to her, she said: ‘The person in this video that I saw was not my son, my son is way stronger than this’. Gharibi said.
“It hurts my heart when I can’t talk to my family. I have lost my pride and I am destroyed. How can I explain?”
The Iranian Hulk has been training in many ways to prepare for this fight. This includes some unique tactics that have seen him take punches and wooden boards to the midsection. Gharibi is also significantly slimmed down since training began for this fight. Despite being the underdog heading in, Iranian Hulk is not backing down.
This was an isolated incident during the face-off but it continues to impact Gharibi. He explained how his mother denounced him and it has affected his sleep schedule and more.
“They deceived me and I fell to the ground. My family said that you will go there and finish him. They expected the other way around.
“How can I sleep or get any rest? I personally feel very bad and I cannot sleep but I am now taking sleeping pills.”
Iranian Hulk feels like he let his family down during this incident. With the calendar turning to April, there are just a few weeks left before both fighters can settle their differences in the ring. This will be the chance for Iranian Hulk to take a real shot at Ford without being separated.

Martyn Ford “Leaving Nothing To Chance” Preparing For Battle With Iranian Hulk
Martyn Ford is not taking his upcoming bout with Iranian Hulk lightly and showed it off once again in training.
The original fight date for the battle between Martyn Ford and Iranian Hulk is just four days away. Right now, both fighters would be putting the finishing touches on their preparation but instead, they are still able to get some serious work in to improve. That is exactly what Ford is doing as he continues to share some of his methods in the gym.
Ford took to Instagram recently to show a simple method used to train his feet. He is seen bouncing around a bosu ball going foot-to-foot on top. While his feet look quick, the impressive part is that Ford is around 320 pounds in the video. He expressed how he is “building a new beast” and is “leaving nothing to chance” as he prepares for his battle.
Martyn Ford and the Iranian Hulk are set to meet on April 30 at the O2 Arena in London. The fight was pushed back in order to give both men some extra time to recover and prepare. This is to ensure that fans see both men at their best. If Ford’s social media in any indication, he should be right there.
“Changing my narrative, building a beast from scratch, leaving nothing to chance …. moving well for 145kg, BUT we can always be better ….”
Martyn Ford has been taking time training with some of the best fighters in the world. This includes sessions with Rico Verhoeven. He is an athlete who has trained in many areas such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu and MMA. Because of his recent training, Ford is the favorite heading into the fight with Iranian Hulk.
This does not mean that Sajad Gharibi is going to go quietly. He has also shared some training methods that he has been using. Gharibi is not as active on social media but he has taken some time to share physique updates and live action during workouts.
This is a battle that is going to see two men settle their differences in the ring. There is expected to bd a crowd of 20,000 people in attendance to see the match take place at the end of April. After seeing what both Martyn Ford and Iranian Hulk have been putting their bodies through, it should be nothing short of exciting.
