An incredible honor for "The Blade": Dexter Jackson will be the 7th Olympia winner inducted into the Hall of Fame!

Dexter Jackson is a phenomenon unlike any other in bodybuilding. He competed in what was quite possibly the toughest era of the sport, alongside legends such as Kevin Levrone, Flex Wheeler, Jay Cutler, and Ronnie Coleman. In 2008, he shocked the entire world when he defeated the reigning champion, Jay Cutler, and lifted the Sandow Trophy above his head. In addition, he holds the all-time record for the most professional wins (an incredible 29) and boasts five titles from the prestigious Arnold Classic.

This year has been full of tremendous honors for the legendary Dexter. In March, he received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, and now an event awaits him that will cement his legacy forever.

An Elite Gathering and Free Admission for Fans

The induction ceremony for the prestigious International Sports Hall of Fame (ISHOF) for the class of 2026 will take place on Saturday , September 26, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the ballroom of the Palms Casino Resort. And the best part? The entire ceremony will be completely free and open to the general public! Fans thus have a unique chance to see history being made with their own eyes.

Dexter will become only the seventh Mr. Olympia titleholder to receive this honor. He will join an exclusive club that includes names such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu, Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, and Phil Heath.

In addition to “The Blade” himself, other true sports legends will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year: chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin, world freediving champion Vitomir Maricic, and the legendary Harlem Globetrotters, who are celebrating their 100th anniversary.
