Man with massive arm beats Karl in arm-wrestle

A world arm wrestling champion with a rare condition has taken on the entire Today show cast single-handed.

World Arm Wrestling Champion Matthias Schittle was born with a rare condition that gave him superhuman strength in one arm.

The 27-year old German's right arm is twice as big as his left, with his forearm measuring almost 46cm.

During an appearance on the 'Today' show he was challenged to an arm wrestle by host Karl Stefanovic.

Despite Karl's using all his strength, he is defeated and goes on to ask the rest of the 'Today' crew to help him out.

Mr Schittle has now claimed eight German national championships and 14 international championships.
