MARTYN FORD will take on Sajad Gharibi at the O2 Arena next April.
The Brit, 39 years old, is known as the most fearsome man on the planet and has been fighting the 'Iranian Hulk since 2018.
Martyn Ford claims that Sajad Gharibi made the fight personal
Rumours circulated three years ago that there was a MMA fight between them, but Ford has made it clear that he will put on an event that fans won't forget.
Ford shared the news with his 3.1 million followers via Instagram.
"I would LOVE to host an event that you guys will never forget. This to me is very personal ..... Many people within his circle have said things that cannot be retaken.
"I will reveal exactly what at the press conference, and YOU will see why this is so personal.
"I cannot promise you the best technical fight in the universe, but I can promise you that I will bring all my resources and make this an event you will never forget."
"I would love to see 20k screaming family and friends show him what it means to stand up for the things you believe in.
"I cannot thank you enough for all your support with this. I really can't."
Ford is eight inches taller than his opponent, but he still leads in weight.
Gharibi, a remarkable 390 lb (or 28 stone), is also known as Persian Hercules.
He once stated that he was willing to fight ISIS, and he has asked UFC chief Dana White for his signature.
Ford was trained by Eddie Hall, the former World's Strongest Man. Hall is currently recovering from an injury and will be training Ford ahead of his fight against Hafthor Thor Bjornsson.
Ford is a bodybuilder by trade, but he once wanted to be a cricketer. He has appeared in many films over the years, including The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
