An Ethiopian giant has said claims that a Ghanaian rival has reached a world recording-breaking height are just tall tales. The tape showed Mr Samed to be 2.23 metres — well short of the world’s tallest man. Ethiopian Negewo Jima saw the report and weighed in, claiming he is taller than Mr Samed. At 2.25 metres, Mr Jima claims to be Ethiopia's tallest man. “If there is, let's measure our height.”But Mr Samed is not giving up hope of one day taking Mr Kosen’s world record.
