Egyptian Strongman Pulls Ship With His Teeth in Hurghada, Seeks Guinness Record

Ashraf Mahrous plans to submit footage for verification after towing up to roughly 1,150 tons.

Overview

  • Mahrous performed the feat on Saturday at Egypt's Red Sea resort of Hurghada, using a rope clenched in his teeth.
  • He first moved a single vessel reported at roughly 635–700 tons, then pulled two ships together totaling about 1,043–1,150 tons.
  • He says the standing Guinness mark is 614 tons set in 2018, and he will send videos and photos for evaluation.
  • The 44-year-old, known as Kabonga, previously earned Guinness recognition in March for the heaviest rail pull at 279 tons, among other certificates.
  • He credits an intensive regimen that includes multi-hour daily training, a high-protein diet, a mouthguard, and traditional miswak care, and he has ambitions for larger sanctioned challenges.
