THE ‘IRANIAN HULK’ has warned Martyn Ford he will ‘leave on a stretcher’ after April’s brutal boxing match.
Sajad Gharibi, 29, will make his UK bow at The O2 Arena when he faces the ‘World’s Scariest Man’.
Standing at 6ft 2in and weighing an incredible 390lbs, ‘Hulk’ is no slouch in the muscle department.
But with an equally-formidable 6ft 9in opponent, who tips the scales at 287lbs, boxing could be set to witness a true ‘super-heavyweight’ epic.
Giving Eddie Hall and Hafthor Bjornsson a run for their money, Gharibi has been working intensely on his boxing technique and fitness.
He has now vowed to make Ford ‘feel’ his ‘deadly punch’ when they touch gloves in the capital.
And ‘Hulk’ believes he will hit so hard that Ford will need lifting out of The O2 by medics on April 2.
Gharibi told Muscle and Health: “That actor, or rather ‘joke’, disrespected me for the first time in 2018 on an Instagram Live.

“He needs to realise this fight is not a Hollywood production. There is no director. He will see and feel my deadly hook and deadly punch.
Gharibi added: “Martin, continue to insult me. Keep playing the clown, but I promise you will be taken out on a stretcher!
“You stand no chance against me. It’s not all about talent or genetics.
“I believe that if you work hard and train hard, it works. That’s my method.”
