Man to pull 40 tons with teeth

Man to pull 40 tons with teeth

A man is planning to pull vehicles weighing 40 tons using just his teeth.

''When I was a little boy my father performed in the circus as a strongman and I always wanted to be like him.''

Denys Ilchenko - who is also known as Hercules - has already set a number of Guinness World Records but hopes his new trick will see him feature in the book once again next year.

The 29-year-old superhuman is planning to pull a mini-bus, loaded onto a large truck and towing a car behind - which will weight 40 tons - with just his knashers.

The Daily Star newspaper reports him as saying: ''I have been with the circus all my life.

''When I was a little boy my father performed in the circus as a strongman and I always wanted to be like him.''

Hercules added: ''As I got older I would try to lift weights and circus dumbbells and I slowly started to become stronger.''
