MARTYN FORD looks transformed after piling on 25lbs of muscle since his boxing fight with the Iranian Hulk was cancelled.
The Brit has put his boxing career on hold and has been bulking up in the gym since April.
And he now weighs 24st 4lbs after training hard over the last few weeks – an increase of nearly two stone compared to his pre-fight weight.
Ford, who is dubbed the ‘World’s Scariest Man’, also revealed he has never been so happy.
Instead of focusing on boxing the 40-year-old has returned to his TV and film career and recently starred in Netflix’s ‘The Sandman’.
He has been living in Bulgaria and appears to be loving his “stress-free” life.

Ford shared a photo on Instagram showing off his huge frame, and used the post as an opportunity to speak to his followers.
He said: “154 KG / 340lb. It’s incredible what a happy mind can do, the last few months, my food has been off (difficultly living in a hotel room), training has been consistent but it’s been in a commercial gym with no training partner.
“Work has been amazing but extremely tough physically and sleep deprived.
“However I have been so happy, so great full and had absolutely zero stress while I’ve been here. And my god it shows in my results.

“Not only that, having a clear focus and a solid purpose to train. Bulgaria has been amazing for me, for so many reasons, appreciate each and everyone of you who has added to this incredible experience.”
The bodybuilder intended to fight Sajad Gharibi, aka the Iranian Hulk, in April, but it was cancelled due to Ford holding concerns about his opponent’s physical and mental wellbeing.
Ford vowed he would organise a replacement fight but he has been unable to do so.
And since he has cut down to 22st 8lbs for that contest, it does not seem likely that Ford will be fighting anytime soon.
