He sported a black Champion T-shirt and jeans with his signature $1595 Gucci messenger bag strapped over his shoulder.

It comes just days after the star was seen outside his Sydney hotel, posing next to a flashy McLaren 720S before being taken for a ride in the sports car.
Meanwhile, during Wednesday morning’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, Hasbulla took on KIIS FM radio producer Lachy Mansell in a hilarious on-air scuffle.
The team weighed and measured the heights of both ‘fighters’, with Hasbulla standing at 99cm (3’3″) and Lachy at 165cm (5’4″).
At the weigh-in, Lachy tipped the scales at 56kg, while Hasbulla was just 16kg.

Hasbulla, who does not speak English, trashed-talk Lachy in his native tongue ahead of the fight, asking why they didn’t bring someone ‘bigger’.
The studio erupted into laughter as radio host Kyle Sandilands said Hasbulla was already talking like a ‘true champion’.
Hasbulla stepped out of the studio and into the ‘main arena’ with bare knuckles, while Lachy was fitted out with boxing gloves.

‘Are you feeling a bit nervous?’ Kyle asked the former Beauty and the Geek contestant.
‘I’m feeling very nervous at the moment!’ Lachy replied.
Kyle added: ‘Because if, by the sheer stroke of luck, you happen to knock Hasbulla out, there are about 40 other Russians here.’
Within seconds of the bell, Hasbulla had already kicked Lachy to the ground and had him pinned, throwing several elbows and punches to his face.
‘Oh, my God!’ Kyle shouted. ‘Hit him in the neck! Get him!’

KIIS FM producer Pedro Vitola was also heard screaming and cheering for Hasbulla.
‘Lachy’s unconscious! I think Lachy’s out. He’s down,’ Kyle said.
He then declared Hasbulla the winner, telling the teen to release Lachy from the chokehold, before he kicked him in the head on his way out.
‘He’s done a little breakdance pose there that must be part of his routine,’ Kyle added. ‘Hasbulla killed Lachy! Well done, mate. Well done.’

Elsewhere in the interview, Hasbulla spoke about his time in Australia and said he would like to ride a kangaroo while he is here.
He also detailed his encounter with Shaquille O’Neal in Sydney, calling the NBA superstar a ‘humble’ person.
Despite their height difference, Hasbulla said he wasn’t scared of the 2.16m (7’1″) sports star and was only scared of the dark.
Kyle also asked Hasbulla if he would ever consider getting married, to which he replied he was ‘too young’ and wasn’t thinking about it at this stage.
Hasbulla then revealed he’d recently signed a contract with UFC in Abu Dhabi, though he isn’t sure about participating in any fights yet.
Hasbulla was greeted by a phalanx of security guards at the airport when he first arrived in Australia before he was escorted to his hotel in a $1.2million Rolls-Royce
Hasbulla shot to fame in late 2020 when he began posting videos on Instagram and TikTok of himself performing daring stunts and pranks.
With his unique appearance and confident attitude, he soon amassed a huge online following including 2.1 million followers on Instagram and 4.7 billion views on TikTok.
He was born with Growth Hormone Deficiency, a condition known as dwarfism, causing him to have an abnormally short stature with normal body proportions.
Since finding fame, Hasbulla has attracted attention by challenging prominent UFC stars to fights, including MMA champion Conor McGregor.
He has also befriended Russian MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, which led to fans nicknaming him ‘Mini Khabib’.
Hasbulla is scheduled to speak in Sydney on August 29 and 30, and Melbourne on August 31 and September 1
