I was asked, who would be your dream fight … There is only 1 for me, The Rock. For me, he is an idol, a legend and what he has and is achieving inspires me daily.
Why fight him? Because it would be UNREAL to share a ring, and the hype would be insane… he’s an incredible athlete, a winner, a grinder… it would be one hell of a showcase.
Do I dislike him??? HELL NO. Would I want to win…. HELL YES😂”

Martyn Ford vs Sajad Gharibi
In terms of stats, Ford will have a distinct height and reach edge over Gharibi, being 7 inches taller. The Iranian Hulk, on the other hand, is 100 pounds heavier, despite his 6-foot 2-inch frame. Martyn Ford is 39 years old, whereas Sajad is ten years younger than him. A lot of factors will be significant for this match.
There have been rumors about a fight between the two for the past couple of years. In 2019, both guys signed contracts to an MMA fight in the Polish MMA promotion called KSW. However, this fight was canceled with no explanation why.
However, if Martyn Ford beats the Iranian Hulk, it could be a massive boost in his boxing career. Furthermore, it could enable him to set up his dream fight against The Rock.
