King Ruffin didn't hesitate! But Angel Kim shocked and defeated Daboul

The Classic Physique category at EVLS Prague Pro 2025 promised a battle of the absolute world's best and that's exactly what the fans got. As widely expected, the American phenomenon Terrence "Ruff Diesel" Ruffin took the victory in a dominant fashion. However, the biggest drama and surprise of the evening was the battle for second place, where a completely unexpected twist occurred.

Terrence Ruffin, one of the best "classics" on the planet and multiple Arnold Classic champion, left no one in doubt why he is considered a master of posing and aesthetics. He brought flawless form, artistic presentation and symmetry to the stage that simply had no equal. He deservedly takes home a gold medal from Prague and a direct qualification for Olympia Weekend 2026.

The biggest shock came in the battle for silver. In it, Korean talent Angel Kim managed to beat one of the main favourites, British pro Michael Daboul, which few expected. Kim showed the form of his life and his full, round muscles and great conditioning scored with the judges. Michael Daboul, although in great form himself, accepted defeat like a true sportsman and had to settle for bronze.

Frenchman Fabian Farid and Bulgarian Zhivko Petkov completed the final five, who showed great international quality, in fourth and fifth place respectively.
