Dzhambulat Mikhaylovich Khatokhov (Russian: Джамбулат Михайлович Хатохов; 24 September 1999 – 29 December 2020) was the world's heaviest child in 2003, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
[1] His mother, Nelya Kabardarkova denied all accusations of fuelling his growth and said she was encouraging Dzhambik's wish to become a sumo wrestler.
On 10 July 2003, he wrestled Georgy Bibilauri, another heavy boy in the Georgian capital Tbilisi.
As shown on an episode of Body Shock, Campbell and other health care professionals urged Dzambik's mother to help the boy eat a better diet and lose weight to improve his health, but Nelya rejected their advice and insisted the boy was healthy and capable of becoming a sumo wrestler or other sportsman.
[5] Dzhambik's size earned him the nickname Sosruko after an ancient hero from local mythology.
According to Nelya Kabardarkova, her son's grandfather was also known as a Bogatyr, a Russian word for a sort of gentle giant.
