Juventud Rebelde newspaper posted on its website that according to La Chiringa de Cuba blog, Guiness record holder Kosen, who is 8.10 ft tall, will be accompanied by his manager Bobby Rostov.

The article says Kosen wanted to travel again to the island to put the
name of Cuba on the highest international level and also to give the Cuban
people the opportunity to see first hand this sui generis man.
Kosen takes credit for having the biggest hands and feet of the world,
which 27.5 cm and 36.5 cm respectively. Such physical conditions have made
it hard for him to perform simple actions such as getting on a car,
running, or finding cloths that fit him or a bed.

Sultan Kosen grow as a normal kid until 10, but then a tumor in the
pituitary gland made his body to continually produce the growth hormone.
The tumor was removed two years ago, so doctors have stated that the giant
has stopped growing.

As in his previous visits to Havana, Kosen will stay for four days at the
National Hotel.
