Amazingly Immense Dude

The heaviest living athlete in the world is Sumo wrestler Emmanuel 'Manny' Yarborough, of Rahway, New Jersey, USA. He stands 2m 3cm, 6ft 8in tall and weighs a colossal 319.3kg, 704lb. He was introduced to Sumo by his judo coach and seven years later, he is ranked number one in the Open Sumo Wrestling Category for Amateurs.

Mr. Yarborough also might have been the scrawny character made famous in the Charles Atlas comic book ads, who had sand kicked in his face by the beach bully until he took the Charles Atlas body building course and became a hunk himself.
