REVEALED: Martyn ford called off iranian hulk fight after seeing rival cry before face off | Vintage Vibes

Martyn Ford felt he had to call off his fight with the Iranian Hulk after watching his rival break down in tears before a press conference between the pair.

The Brit, who has been dubbed the 'world's scariest man', was due to face Sajjad Gharibi in a boxing match on April 30 at The O2 arena in London. But he pulled out after going head-to-head with his opponent in Dubai as part of an altercation that saw the pair get physical.

Gharibi admitted after the pair's embarrassing face-off, where he was easily brushed off by Ford, that he was feeling suicidal, and the fight was ultimately cancelled. And now Ford has said that after seeing his opponent in such a bad state he felt guilty going through with the big money fight.
