‘I’d love to challenge The Rock to a fight. We’d make a fortune’

Martyn Ford – AKA the World’s Scariest Man – is keen to fight WWE legend and actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson after his upcoming fight against the ‘Iranian Hulk’.

Ford will face-off against the Iranian Hulk – real name Sajad Gharibi – on April 2 at the O2 Arena in London in what will undoubtedly be one of the most extraordinary and unique boxing matches in the history of the sport.

The 39-year-old, who is 6ft 9in and 130kg, is already eyeing-up a lucrative fight against The Rock after his date with Gharibi.

Speaking to Muscle and Health, Ford said: “I’d love to challenge The Rock to a fight. We’d make a fortune.

“It would be a phenomenal fight because he’s a great athlete. He’s very mobile, strong and comes from a wrestling background.”

Ford added: “[Gharibi] is in for an absolute world of s***. I would not want to be him.

“Genuinely, hand on heart, I don’t think he understands what’s going to happen when he steps into that room.

“It’s genuinely a serious concern of mine that he’s going to get seriously hurt.”

At a combined weight of 307kg, viewers are certainly in for a show when Ford and Gharibi meet in the ring in April.

While the World’s Scariest Man is confident that he will defeat the Iranian Hulk and hopefully set up a bout against The Rock, his opponent how vowed that Ford will have ‘no chance’ against him.

“Martyn Ford, continue to insult as much as you want. To play clown. To disrespect. But I promise you, they will take you out of the ring on a stretcher. You will have no chance against me,” said Gharibi.
