Overview
- The 44-year-old wrestler, known as Kabonga, pulled a roughly 700-ton ship and then moved two ships together totaling about 1,150 tons at Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Hurghada.
- Mahrous says he will submit videos and photos to Guinness World Records for review, aiming to surpass the standing 2018 benchmark of 614 tons.
- He performed the pulls using a rope clenched in his teeth, continuing a pattern of public strength feats that has built his national profile.
- Guinness recognized him in March for the heaviest rail pull after he moved a 279-ton train with his teeth, adding to prior certificates including a 2021 truck pull and a 2024 egg-eating record.
- He trained for hours daily and followed a protein- and iron-rich diet for the attempt, and he now plans to request permission to pull a submarine as his next challenge.
