The 2-foot-2.41-inch Khagendra Thapa Magar may have a short reign as the world's shortest man. After attaining the title late last year, the 18-year-old Nepalese man may soon lose it.
Guinness World Records told AOL Weird News that a new contender is ready to challenge the diminutive title holder.
Junrey Balawing, 17, hails from the Philippines and claims to be 1 foot 10 inches tall -- almost 4.3 inches shorter than Magar -- and just shy of being the smallest man ever. "A doctor has not yet measured and verified Junrey Balawing's height so at this time, Khagendra is still the record holder," a Guinness rep told AOL Wehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifird News.
Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said if Balawing measures up, he could make a permanent mark on mankind.
