All participants of the Arnold Classic 2025 a few weeks before the battle!

We are four weeks away from the start of this year's IFBB Jim Manion Professional League season, which will kick off, as has been the custom for several long seasons, with the Arnold Classic. It is rightly considered the second most prestigious bodybuilding competition in the world.

This year's edition will be very interesting indeed. Not that the previous editions were not interesting, but this year has something extra. Three Mr. Olympia title holders will take the stage, namely Brandon Curry, who became the king of professional bodybuilders in 2019, Derek Lunsford, who took over the reins of this competition in 2023, and Samson Dauda, the reigning Mr. Olympia champion.

Curry and Dauda were also winners of the Arnold Classic in the past. Curry has already dominated it twice, in 2019 and 2022, while Samson has, so far, one victory, from the 2023 edition.

So it's clear that these three aforementioned fighters in particular will be fighting for the win. However, their other rivals must not be forgotten either. After all, one of them will be William Bonac, the man who managed to dominate this competition in 2018 and 2020!

Below you can watch a video that will give you an insight into the forms of all the participants of the Arnold Classic 2025 competition about five weeks before their fight.
