The hosts were curious as to how their extreme height disparities may have impacted the interaction. Hasbulla said, “He’s a good man. He’s humble and simple. And he doesn’t care if I’m short.”

Hasbulla and Abdu Rozik: Who is taller?

Rosik is 3 feet and 1 inch (0.94 m/ 94 cm) tall, making him 3 inches shorter than Hasbulla.

Growing up with rickets caused Rozik's development to be stunted. On the other hand, Hasbulla's dwarfism was most likely caused by growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

While both seem like children, their rivalry is similar to that between adults. Hasbulla allegedly challenged Rozik to compete against anyone in his weight class up to 18kg in 2020.

Even though Rozik accepted the challenge, the Sports Association of Little People of Russia later forbade the fight and referred to it as "unethical."

The two hurled insults about one another's financial situation and social media power throughout the half-hour talk. Additionally, Hasbulla once flashed Abdu a bank card while making jokes about buying him with his money.
