at the Royal Albert Hall
Oh. Oh,
well, failure, I'm afraid, is what Iron Biby has suffered.
Each time he's come up to a world record before, he's not delivered.
I wish I can have another go.
I want to do it again.
If you guys want it we’ll do it.
Iron Biby...
Royal Albert Hall,
he's done one half of the two most important pressing records
there are the Axle has been slayed.
Will we see Biby for the Log at the end of the season?
Welcome to Giants Live, ladies and gentlemen.
Probably one of the greatest things I've ever seen
and I've seen a lot of stuff in the strongman world.
Well, I promised my dad that
until the last second, I would not give up, I would give everything I can .
The first lift threw me back to 2018.
I'm like, What? All this training?
And I'm coming to the same thing again and I gave a go again, and it's not working.
So I had to like, go deeper,
be another person and new version of Iron Biby.
So every time I watch this video, I don't see myself I see someone else
that was doing this job.
So this day changed my life, too.
You know, it's a different person now.
Here we go.
Iron Biby, at the Leeds
First Direct Arena.
This man came a long way
and he came for one thing

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the First Direct
arena in Leeds, England.
Here we go.
There's 195.
Solid as a rock
Well, the past three weeks
was very hard for me.
So the plan was after the axle press
World Record, to go back home
Get ready and come back to the World Log Lift Championship,
and then my father passed away.
Everyone was waiting for me to celebrate it.
My dad, everyone
and I feel bad now
that I said no because it was going to be the best time
like probably last celebration with my father.
I feel bad.
Yeah, and I told him to wait.
And now
he’s not there.
Yeah,
It’s hard to talk about.
Hey Biby Hixxy here,
I just wanted to say, you know, from the bottom of my heart,
so I really, really hope Biby gets it.
I love him to bits
He's an incredible person.
This man is ready to erupt with power.
And when that log hits his shoulders, it's
it’s WHOOP!
up to arms length.
Come on, Biby!
Here we go.
Iron Biby

Show this man
What you want ladies and gentlemen
And he shall
deliver!
The world record!
falls here at the Hydro!
The world record!
is crushed!
By Burkina Faso’s own
Mr Iron Biby!
he's done the axle, he's done the log, he's done the lot.
This surely puts him in the annals of strength history
as the greatest presser of all time.
It's really hard for me
because I wanted to break this
with my father watching.
And you guys are all like my father here now.
I really feel at home, and my brother.
Atim
Where is my Brother?
We're going to bring Atim over because you're one of five.
We have Uma, Zumana, Mina, yourself and Atim who's always at your side.
What do your family mean to you, my friend?
They means a lot.
But you guys are also my family, you know?
And Bill, thank you for all the advice
Darren
Thank you so much.
And honestly, thank you, guys.
I really feel blessed and I'll be back again for more performance.
God bless you all.
When Biby broke the Axle Press world record,
his father said to him, that was the greatest day of his life.
His name is Lancina Sanou, and he would love
nothing more to have seen his son do what he did today,
to have overcome grief, to have overcome travel restrictions, to overcome COVID
and to do what you've done.
That is absolutely meteoric.
So Glasgow for me, please be on our feet,
and it's a massive round of applause
to this man
and his father for breaking history
That right there, epitomizes a true champion.
Cheick Ahmed al-Hassan Sanu, a.k.a.
Iron Biby
Congratulations.
You have done it.
