This US Man with Large Hands is Known as ‘Popeye of Minnesota’

We have all been fascinated in our childhood days with the might of our favourite cartoon character Popeye. For Popeye, spinach used to be the fuel that filled him up with amazing power. His hands were his identity, as they were humongous. As kids, a lot of us wanted to be powerful and mighty like Popeye. And this dream came true for one kid from Minnesota who was given the nickname Popeye for all the right reasons.

Jeff Dabe was in high school when his coach took him to his first arm wrestling competition at a local charity event. Ever since he has been catching attention wherever he goes for his oversized hands. Jeff is, now, a professional arm wrestler and has gathered quite a fan following on social media for his unusually large hands.

Jeff, apart from Popeye, is often compared to another animated character – Wreck-It Ralph – which Jeff doesn’t mind at all. “I have no problem with that. I think it is kind of a compliment. I am who I am,” Jeff told Fox News. Jeff’s hands are recorded to be 49 centimetres in circumference. Jeff’s engagement ring, according to a Fox News report, measures 5 inches round.
