Martyn Ford is set to go head-to-head against the “Iranian Hulk” Sajad Gharibi in one of the biggest celebrity boxing matches to hit the ring this year.
Ford, the 39-year-old West Midlands native, stands at a whopping six-foot-eight and 320lb, so it’s not difficult to comprehend why he has been named the “world’s scariest man”.
But what his opponent lacks in height, he certainly makes up for it in weight.
Gharibi stands six inches smaller than Ford, but the Khuzestan native is 40lb heavier than his opposition.
