Disappointing: The Iranian 'Hulk' debuted in boxing and ended up humiliated despite being the favorite in his fight [Video]

Sajad Gharibi’s name may not sound familiar but his nickname popularly known as the Iranian ‘Hulk’ is a sensation on social media amassing more than a million followers on social media.

His imposing physique had made more than one Internet user ask him to join boxing to dominate the ring at the point of force and although that wish of his fans came true recently, not everything went as expected.

The Iranian ‘Hulk’ took advantage of an invitation to fight as an amateur this Sunday at the P7 Arena in Dubai against Djumanov Almat Bakhytovich, alias ‘Kazakh Titan’ and although the difference in weight was considerable (299 pounds vs. 218 Kazakh pounds) the result surprised even the most incredulous.

Despite spending months practicing and heating up the fight at the weigh-in assuring that he was “going to eat” ‘Kazakh Titan’, ‘Hulk’ gave a lousy performance in his first fight.

Barely in the first round Gharibi was suffocated by Bakhytovich’s blows and it was immediately apparent that he did not have the performance that was needed for the fight.

Even the main one had to call a timeout a minute after the start to get the ‘Iranian Hulk’ back into the air. However, the Kazakh took advantage of this to hit harder and with a right hand the KO and the fall of the giant fighter were sealed.

Social networks did not forgive the defeat of the ‘Iranian Hulk’ and condemned him for his failure with hundreds of comments on his personal networks.
