Martyn Ford Shows Off Jacked Physique While Crushing Workout
Bodybuilder and actor Martyn Ford boasts one of the best builds of any celebrity in the entertainment world. Although he grew up playing different sports, it was bodybuilding where he found his passion. In a recent post made on Instagram, Ford showed off his monstrous physique while crushing several workouts.
Martyn Ford first made headlines for his gigantic build online a few years ago. He displayed impressive athletic talents with an insane work ethic that found him opportunities in a range of fields related to entertainment. His mythical stature garnered attention in the world of fitness and acting. He was lined up to face fellow internet sensation Sajad Gharibi, popularly known as The Iranian Hulk, in a boxing match last year.
Ford issued a warning to Gharibi while giving fans a look into his footwork training ahead of the anticipated showdown in Mar. 2022. Standing at 6’8”, the 320-pound Brit towered over Gharibi when the two collided with each other in the face-offs. Ford shoved his opponent with ease, resulting in the Iranian lifter’s family disowning him a month later.
In Apr. 2022, the boxing match got scrapped. Ford pinned the blame on Gharibi for the bout falling through. He explained health concerns and misrepresentation surrounding Gharibi as the reason for the investors pulling the plug on the fight.

Ford revealed he shed about 58 pounds in preparation for the canceled boxing match. Although he couldn’t test out his boxing chops, he reports feeling healthier than ever. He offered a freakishly jacked physique update following a boxing training session. In May 2022, Ford opened up on his worries about Gharibi potentially committing suicide if he lost in the contest. He made his way to Gharibi in Dubai to bury the hatchet but realized a positive outcome may not be in the cards.
Martyn Ford was eyeing a move to mixed martial arts competition under the KSW banner a year ago. He left the fans stunned by gaining 6 pounds in only an hour of weight training. Then, he dropped a big physique update while getting ready for his combat sports debut.

The ‘Iranian Hulk’ Is Preparing For Boxing Match Against Martyn Ford By Punching Walls
The ‘Iranian Hulk’ has added some crazy tactics to his training.
We know that Sajad Gharibi, known as the ‘Iranian Hulk,’ is set to take on Martyn Ford in a boxing match on April 2. What you might not know is that Gharibi is taking his training to an entirely new level.
The Iranian Hulk has been sharing videos of himself doing some crazy things in preparation for his fight. This includes smashing watermelons, bending metal, and yes — punching walls. This does not seem like tactics that will help his boxing style but it certainly shows that Gharibi is not afraid and has incredible strength.
Gharibi and Ford could have a name for their fight as well. This is following in the footsteps of Hafthor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall. The fight between the two former strongmen has been dubbed the “World’s Strongest Fight.” The bout between Gharibi and Ford can be known as the “World’s Scariest Fight.” This might be why the Iranian Hulk is partaking in some reckless training methods.
This is a fight that has become personal as both sides have made comments back and forth. For Ford, he has focused his training on movement rather than weight lifting. This has allowed him to get lighter in preparation.
Ford is an athlete that has been training in MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and boxing. This is why he was comfortable taking on Gharibi in any type of match. As for the Iranian Hulk, he is an alleged MMA fighter but has not stepped in the ring for an official match.
Ford later published a more official post providing promotional artwork and a link to RSVP for pre-ordering ticket.
“I would absolutely LOVE to put on an event you guys will NEVER forget, this to me is very personal …. things have been said that can’t be taken back, by numerous people in his circle. I will release exactly what at the press conference and YOU will see just why this is so personal to me. I cant promise you the most technical fight in the world .. BUT I will promise you that I will bring my absolute EVERYTHING and turn this into an EVENT you will NEVER forget,” ford wrote.
There is an official date and venue set. The fight will take place at the O2 Arena in London. Both men are extremely confident heading into the match and there is no shortage of drama or storylines leading up to it.

This is not the first time that Martyn Ford and Sajad Gharibi, known as the Iranian Hulk, have been linked together to square off in a boxing match. These rumors go back to 2018 but a time and date was never set. Now, there is a date planned which gives it a legitimate feel.
The two bodybuilders are set to meet each other on April 2nd, under the banner of celebrity boxing promotion BoxStar. This will be a boxing match and not an MMA fight, which is was originally thought to be years back.
In 2018, there were rumors that Ford and Gharibi were planning to meet in an MMA style fight. This ended up falling through, along with a bare-knuckle boxing match in 2019. Now, the two will have there chance to fight and it might be a little personal for both sides.
Martyn Ford took to Instagram to confirm the fight and say that there is a little extra juice heading into it. While Ford did not give many details, he highlights that Sajad Gharibi and his team made it personal by making some comments.
“So …… apparently @sajadgharibiofficial managed to find some crayons and has signed the paper work …. its ON …. many people have asked me WHY … all I will say on this platform is its PERSONAL ….
from him and his people, words have been said that can’t be unspoken … and when you see you will understand exactly why I’m doing this … every man, who is a father will understand. This maybe a boxing match, but believe me I’m happy to get disqualified to put my point across,” Ford wrote in his caption.
Ford is an athlete that has been training in MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and boxing. This is why he was comfortable taking on Gharibi in any type of match. As for the Iranian Hulk, he is an alleged MMA fighter but has not stepped in the ring for an official match.
Bodybuilders and strongmen making the transition to boxing is something that is becoming more and more present as of late. Of course, the sage between Eddie Hall and Hafthor Bjornsson is at the forefront because of the history and the recent postponement due to injury. Hall suffered a torn bicep and had to pull out of their scheduled fight in September.
It is unknown if and when they will reschedule but the match is already being advertised as the ‘heaviest match of all time.’ Ford and Gharibi could make a run at that title with both men weighing well over 300 pounds.
Martyn Ford and Sajad Gharibi officially have a date and this is good news for fans wanting to see this fight go down. It is one that will have more on the line than just a win in the ring. This is what makes it even more entertaining and sets up the storyline leading into April.
