He couldn't just let that height go to waste, so he decided to train and join the Indian police force. He also won an award as the first Indian to win the WWE Elite Heavyweight Championship.
Because he was so huge, it was very difficult for him to find someone to train him, and even harder to get trainers that matched his size, that was one of the problems. Another problem is that a guy this big needs a lot of food, he admitted that he eats about 5 whole chickens a day to provide the right amount of protein that his huge body needs.

5. Robert Wadlow.
Koesen is the tallest man alive today, but the tallest man in history was Robert Wadlow.
He was born in the United States in 1918, when medicine was not yet too advanced, so doctors could not perform serious surgeries, such as brain surgery, that could help him.
Because of this, he continued to grow to 272 cm, but this did not prevent him from leading a relatively normal life. He, unlike Kösen, finished high school and studied law, but unfortunately was unable to finish his studies.
Then he joined the circus, and people instantly fell in love with him, dubbing him the gentle giant.
His health began to deteriorate because of inadequate medical care at the time, and in his 20s he could not walk normally without crutches. Later, he was accidentally wounded with a cane, which eventually led to sepsis, and doctors tried hard to save his life by administering medicine to the best of their ability, as well as blood transfusions, but efforts were unsuccessful. He died in 1940, and his funeral was attended by a large number of friends, relatives, and admirers - 40,000 people in all.
