Zhang Shaoxiong, 42, nicknamed Dragon Boy, performed the stunt in Red Sun square in Xiangtan city.

"It wasn't a big deal for me. I've pulled things that are even heavier," he told Changsha Evening News.

Zhang says he was inspired to train himself to pull heavy objects with his teeth 20 years ago.

Zhang says his super-strong teeth also come from his life-long habit of chewing betel nuts.
