Meanwhile, The Sun recently revealed about the ordeal Gharibi went through after he was pushed against Ford in Dubai at a press conference.
From the video clips circulating, Gharibi was at first helpless in trying to push Ford. In the next video, Ford forcefully pushes Gharibi down.
The Iranian Hulk was embarrassed too. He vent while crying in an interview on a television show because his own mother was not recognized after being pushed down by Ford.
"I couldn't call my family, when I came back (to Iran) I didn't go to my family," Iran's Hulk told Iranian TV.
"I couldn't talk to my mum and dad. When I spoke to him he said: 'The person in this video I see is not my son, my son is much stronger than this'.
"It hurts me when I can't talk to my family. I have lost my pride and I am devastated. How can I explain? They tricked me and I fell to the ground. My family said that you will go there and beat him. They expect otherwise How can I sleep or rest?
"I personally felt really bad and I couldn't sleep but now I'm taking sleeping pills. When a mother says that to her child, how can it be tolerated? There's a lot of pressure, if I get paid even a dollar to do that. I can't go on."
