An 11-year-old Mexican boy has killed six young bulls in a single fight, apparently becoming the world’s youngest matador to achieve the feat.
A video of the contest is to be verified by Guinness World Records.
“I’m happy to have achieved this great victory,” said Michelito Lagravere Peniche as he left the ring in Merida.
The controversial spectacle was given a last minute go-ahead by the authorities despite pressure from child protection and anti-bullfighting campaign groups.
Merida’s mayor had suspended the record attempt, saying it was illegal for youths under the age of 18 to take part in high-risk public performances.
But the state prosecutor’s office overturned the ban just hours before the fight after Michelito’s father – a former French bullfighter – launched an appeal.
