Martyn Ford – a.k.a. the World’s Scariest Man – wants to fight WWE legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson after dispatching the Iranian Hulk. He thinks they would ‘make a fortune’. Ford has a lot on his plate against the Iranian Hulk – real name Sajad Gharibi – with the star tipping the scales at a whopping 390lbs.
Now, bodybuilding giant Ford is best known for his fearsome nickname, and he lives up to it, measuring six feet eight inches tall and weighing just under 23 stone.
The bodybuilder is set to face Sajad Gharibi, also known as the Iranian Hulk, in ‘the fight of his career’ after years of learning MMA and boxing while also acting.
The pair will fight on April 2 at London’s O2 Arena, but despite the men’s rigorous training regimens, Ford appears to already have his sights set on his next opponent.
And this opponent is none other than the wrestling legend himself – Dwayne Johnson.
Johnson, who is now one of Hollywood’s most popular actors, has a long career in professional wrestling and is widely regarded as one of the best wrestlers of all time.
Ford revealed why he’d love to fight The Rock in the ring in an interview with Muscle and Health about his upcoming fight and how he’s been preparing.
“I’d love to challenge The Rock to a fight,” he said.
“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.”
Well, there’s no doubt that a fight between Ford and Johnson would certainly be an interesting one.
“The Hulk’s training footage is kind of demoralizing [sic] in the sense that I don’t want to watch it and think I’m just wasting my time because I could beat him up now,” he explained.
“He’s in for an absolute world of “s**t”. He really is. I would not want to be him.
“Throwing people around, pretending that you’re bloody John Cena from Iran, is kind of embarrassing.
“I don’t like it when people disrespect the sport of boxing.
“If you’re going to do it, fine, but make sure you’re training for it.
“Make sure you’re eating right. Make sure you’re doing everything to be the best athlete you can be and respect the sport.”
He added: “If you’re just trying to make a quick couple of quid, you’ve got to question the ethics of it.”
