Let’s be real, most of you aren’t coming to BC for the latest news in the soccer world. Unless Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk nude photos leaked or some crap, the world’s most popular sport is pretty low on our totem pole. But today we have an exception to the unofficial rule with AFC Wimbledon striker Adebayo Akinfewa.
Now you must be wondering what exactly makes this player noteworthy. Well the dude is a freaking tank, y’all. The 32-year-old Akinfenwa literally looks like a fake player you’d create in FIFA, standing at just 5’10” but weighing in at a staggering 189 pounds. Basically, he’s a bowling ball.
According to the Daily Express, Akinfewa has the ability to bench press double his body weight and is rated as the strongest player in the FIFA video game series (DUH!). And if you think people caring about his weight bothers him, you’re dead wrong:
“I embrace the fact that I’m different. Let’s face it, when you see 22 footballers on the pitch, you notice me. I enjoy it.”
