Egypt’s ‘Kabonga’ sets world record by pulling a lorry weighing over 7 tonnes using only his teeth: Video
Egyptian strongman Ashraf Suleiman, popularly known as Kabonga, has set a new Guinness World Record after pulling a lorry weighing more than seven tonnes using only his teeth.
The feat took place in Egypt’s Sharqia Governorate, where crowds watched as Kabonga dragged the 7.225-tonne vehicle for 31 metres. The achievement surpasses the previous record of 4.315 tonnes set by Iran’s Seyed Hossein Bouferhad in December 2023.
“Thanks to God, I was able to break the Iranian world record,” Kabonga said after the attempt, celebrating with fans.
Guinness World Records representative Frances Morgan confirmed the milestone, noting Kabonga had “achieved nearly double the strength and distance” of the earlier record. “Kabonga is truly one of a kind,” she said.
The athlete is already looking ahead to even more ambitious challenges, including pulling a 200-tonne aeroplane and a 1,150-tonne train.
Kabonga is no stranger to extreme strength tests. According to Guinness, he previously pulled a 700-tonne ship with his teeth in September 2023 and moved a 15.73-tonne vehicle in March 2022.
