Martyn Ford is currently one of the biggest and most muscular people on earth. However, he is set to battle against an even heavier man in a boxing match. On April 2nd, 2022, Martyn Ford will face the ‘Iranian Hulk’, real name Sajad Gharibi, at the O2 Arena in London. It won’t be official until the actual weigh-in before the bout, but the match will go down as one of the heaviest in the history of boxing. Gharibi’s bodyweight is unknown, but Martyn Ford posted an update stating that he weighed in at 315 lbs (143 kg).
Despite carrying a lot of weight, Ford’s stature makes it look amazing, as he is 6 feet 8 inches tall. His physique is very impressive, particularly his capped shoulders and huge quads. Ford’s body fat percent is quite low, considering he weighs 315 lbs (143 kg). In addition, Ford’s tattoos complete his look, and he justifies the ‘World’s Scariest Man’ nickname.
