Martyn Ford and The Iranian Hulk Sajad Gharibi will no longer be fighting on April 30, according to reports.

However, the event will still go ahead as planned, per a report from The Mirror.

Ford said via his Instagram: “This is a statement I didn’t want to have to realise but unfortunately April 30, my fight is going to be postponed.

“The event is still on, it’s just my fight.

“The event will still go ahead and there are some great people and fights on.

“Unfortunately mine won’t be one of them, for reasons out of my control.

“It doesn’t take a genius to figure them all out. I don’t want to go down the route of talking about it; too much time and energy has been wasted.

“I’m still training hard, there will be a debut. there will be a fight, I’m just not 100 per cent sure who, when or why, but it will happen.”
