0:35Now PlayingWith nothing but grit, muscle and an iron jaw, a hugely popular Egyptian wrestler geared up for an extraordinary challenge and a world record attempt: pulling a 700-ton ship across the water with a rope held only by his teeth.
It was no easy task, but Ashraf Mahrous, also known by his nickname Kabonga, has dazzled before with his astonishing strength. Earlier this year, he pulled a train. He has also singlehandedly pulled a locomotive — and four years ago, a truck.
With the ship pull, Mahrous hopes to get yet another recognition from the Guinness World Records.
