Emmanuel “Tiny” Yarbrough

The towering physique of Emmanuel Yarbrough sure doesn’t do justice to that nickname! Yarbrough can be a formidable fighting competitor with a colossal size, which is perhaps why he chose wrestling as his career.

The wrestler’s weight was recorded as 828 lbs, making him the heaviest athlete alive according to the Guinness Book of World Records. With a suitably bulky body, Yarbrough tried his luck in various fighting disciplines, including sumo wrestling, mixed martial arts, and even Judo! Emmanuel wrapped up his illustrious career with a silver medal in the U.S Nationals.
