Martyn Ford showed off his ripped physique ahead of a potential MMA showdown with Eddie Hall in February.
The British bodybuilder looked in pristine shape during a trip to Australia ahead of what promises to be an intriguing step into the world of combat sports in 2024.
Ford posted a picture on Instagram of himself donning just a pair of black swimming shorts whilst on a beach and it appears he’s already in optimal shape for the bout.
Alongside the picture, he wrote: “What a day …. Sun has been blasting, head has been burnt…all in all …success.”
Ford has been linked with a move into combat sports for some time and came close to fighting the Iranian Hulk before it was eventually cancelled.
But he will get his chance next year when taking part in a four-man eliminator which features his friend and fellow strongman, Hall.

A clash between the pair is expected to generate huge interest due their size and frames however, there is no guarantee the bout will go ahead with much depending on the results and draw of the tournament.
Whoever Ford goes to war with will face the ‘World’s Scariest Man’ in full throttle judging by his recent look.
And his social media beach shot is one that can most certainly be believed, unlike that of the Iranian Hulk, real name Sajad Gharibi.
Gharibi had never been seen in Britain and ahead of his debut it became apparent that his size was not as seen in his social media pictures.

Ford and Gharibi clashed during the face-off for their showdown in the Middle East leading to the Brit having doubts over his opponent and subsequently cancelling the fight.
The 41-year-old became concerned for the welfare of the Gharibi although the Iranian later threatened legal action over the cancellation.
