"I'm going to take them out!" Andrew Jacked is grinding his teeth for a million dollars

Andrew Jacked is currently on the gas and has no intention of slowing down. After taking third place at Mr. Olympia 2025 and completely dominating the Romania Pro (thus securing qualification for the next edition in advance), he recently scored a huge triumph. In his third start at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio, he defeated Nick Walker in a thrilling battle and took home the highest prize money ever in bodybuilding - $750,000.

He now faces the Arnold Classic UK, which takes place March 27-29 in Birmingham, UK. There's another $250,000 in prize money up for grabs for the winner, meaning Jacked could take home a whopping straight million dollars in prize money in just one month. But to do that, he will have to overcome strong competition on European soil, led by rising star Martin Fitzwater.

He promises even better form at the Arnold Classic UK

In his recent video, Andrew promised to show even better form in the UK than he did in Columbus. But he also respects his opponents and expects Fitzwater and others to bring their best to the stage.

"I think I'll be a little bit better. Just like I improved from Olympia to the competition in Romania. I expect to improve by an imaginary 'inch'," said Jacked. "But I don't expect it just from him (Fitzwater), I expect it from everyone. All the guys have worked hard now and I believe they will bring their absolute best to the podium."

Jacked is confident that the winner will be decided during Friday's preliminary round:

"I believe we will know who will win on Friday night. So we're going to give it absolutely everything on Friday, we're going for the win. I believe that once we do it on Friday, we will confirm it on Saturday night."

Dream fight with Samson Dauda at Mr. Olympia

Looking to the future, Andrew has a clear goal - a man-to-man fight with Samson Dauda. Both fighters have similar physiques and aesthetics, which would make their clash an incredible spectacle.

"I'm looking forward to it being just me and him. We'll give the audience a great show because we have almost identical physiques. I'm about 188 cm, I'm a bit taller than him, but we have the same body structure, just everything. I think it's going to be an amazing fight," Jacked predicts.

He said both bodybuilders accurately represent the ideal of Mr. Olympia and compared them to ancient statues:

"I'm honestly looking forward to it. We both meet the criteria. When we talk about Olympia, it's like the world of the Greek gods. The Greek gods are tall, symmetrical and everyone looks up to them as an ideal. The same is true of Samson."

While Andrew Jacked has been racing steadily since the last Olympia, Samson Dauda has chosen a different strategy. He skipped this year's U.S. Arnold Classic and still hasn't announced what show he'll appear at next. There is even speculation that he will take a break and save his strength until Mr. Olympia 2026, which will take place on September 24-27 in Las Vegas.

Jacked is currently fully focused on his performance in Birmingham. Time will tell if he will take a break from racing after this weekend and begin training exclusively for the Olympia or continue his campaign. Either way, this year's bodybuilding season promises to be an epic spectacle.
