Iron Biby strikes again! Burkinabe strongman sets new world record

Burkina Faso’s powerhouse, Iron Biby, has done it once more! On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, in the U.S., he outlasted Ukraine’s Pavlo Kordiyaka in a thrilling Viking Press showdown (150 kg/330 lb), securing victory with 15 reps to his rival’s 13. The win cements his new world record in the event.
