There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

From this angle, he looks somewhat emaciated, making that 240+ kg claim seem a bit dubious.
Just my humble opinion

As I said before, he is very lean, but also very tall and long. This article is from 2015 (he was 5yo then). https://www.tyden.cz/rubriky/relax/zvirata/zoo-hodonin-hlasi-na-svet-prisla-vzacna-tygri-dvojcata_347903.html  "Igor vazi asi 220 kilogramu" means "Igor weighs around 220 kilograms".  I saw him in 2015 and I would say that 220 kg was very reliable number. 

Ad I would say that tiger who is 220 kg at the age of 5 could be easily 240 kg at the age of 7.

BTW if Igor was as robust as this 220 kg (weighted) male, he would be certainly over 250 kg.
