IRANIAN HULK appeared to take out his anger on a frying pan after his fight with Martyn Ford was cancelled.
The weightlifter – real name Sajad Gharibi – was set to fight Hollywood actor Ford this Saturday at the O2 Arena.
But the bout has since been axed with a rearranged date yet to be announced.
Gharibi, 30, has since hit out at Ford, 39, and was left so fuming he uploaded a video crushing a frying pan.
He folds the kitchen utensil completely in half demonstrating his frightening strength.
But Gharibi will not yet get the chance to put his power to use in the ring following the postponement of his fight.

In a statement, he said: “I heard Ford doesn’t want to fight, it is not me, not any other fighters.
“I never cancelled any fight between us but he doesn’t want see me again!
“It is against the contract and my legal team have started looking at it.
“Actually “pretty boy” can’t even fight, he just hides and runs away, he must have a permission from a woman first.

“I can’t believe an opponent like him, it’s shameful. This victory isn’t an honour for me, it’s a century joke not a century fight.”
Ford posted his own version of events and insisted he will be seen in the ring soon.
The movie star said: “This is a statement I didn’t want to have to release but unfortunately my fight is going to be postponed.
“I don’t want to go down the route of talking about it; too much time and energy has been wasted.
“For me, personally, I’m still training hard, there will be a debut, there will be a fight, I’m just not 100 percent sure who, when or why, but it will happen.”
