Huge handball star Gauthier Mvumbi has gone viral for his incredible size and skill - even earning the attention of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal.
The 6ft 2in, 17st (108kg) powerhouse is representing DR Congo at his nation's first-ever appearance at the IHF Men’s Handball Championships.
Despite DR Congo slipping to a 28-22 defeat in their tournament opener, eyebrows were raised by Mvumbi's performances.
The giant star, 26, has thrilled fans with his barely-believable skills.
He scored four goals from just four efforts, including some spectacularly athletic attempts and asked his fans to call him 'El Gigante' from now on.
Mvumbi's combination of size, strength and agility packed into such a massive frame has seen viewers compare him to NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal.
And the 7ft 1in basketball superstar has even sent Mvumbi - who lists Shaq as an idol of his - a personal message of congratulations.
Even before the tournament in Egypt started, Mvumbi vowed to just enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience after DR Congo were added to the tournament once it was expanded from 24 teams to 32.
Mvumbi said: "I never thought I'd go through this one day, so we'll have to enjoy it.
“We have absolutely nothing to lose, so we will do our best and play our card thoroughly.
"They [the opposition] have two arms and two legs, just like us.
“The goal is above all to have fun, to live the competition to the fullest.
"We're going to take everything we need to take, and if possible, annoy some teams.”
