Akim Williams and Luke Sandoe ahead of the 2019 Arnold Classic. What other fighters will be competing at this prestigious event?

From February 28 to March 3, Columbus will host another edition of the traditional Arnold Sports Festival, the annual highlight of which is a competition of professional bodybuilders called the Arnold Classic. It is considered the second most prestigious competition in the world of professional bodybuilding after Mr. Olympia.

As has been the custom for many years, the competition is not open to anyone who wishes to participate, but only to those fighters who receive an invitation from the organizers of the competition.
This year they received it:

• Lionel Beyeke
• William Bonac
• Rafael Brandao
• Brandon Curry
• Charles Dixon
• Steve Kuclo
• Joshua Lenartowicz
• Victor Martinez
• Cedric McMillan
• Luke Sandoe
• Mikhail Volinkin
• Akim Williams
• Roelly Winklaar

If you take a good look at the invitees, it's immediately clear that there will indeed be something to look forward to!
After all, not only will the three winners of the previous editions - William Bonac(2018), Cedric McMillan (2017) and Victor Martinez (2007) - be standing next to each other, but also last year's Mr. Olympia third man Roelly Winklaar!

Of course, these are among the biggest favourites to triumph, but the other invited fighters will not want to be embarrassed either. Below you can take a look at the current form of the pair of Akim Williams and Luke Sandoe, who will be looking to put up a very tough fight with the aforementioned fighters for the judges' favour.
