Samson Dauda, Derek Lunsford and Shaun Clarida 4 weeks before Arnold Classic 2025

What do reigning Mr. Olympia titleholder Samson Dauda, 2023 Mr. Olympia titleholder Derek Lunsford and the 212 Olympia 2020 and 2022 titleholder have in common? Well, the fact that they will be on the same stage together!

All three, along with other invited fighters, will meet on stage at the Arnold Classic 2025 at the end of this month, with Samson defending his 2023 win.

However, Derek Lunsford, who last year failed to defend his Mr. Olympia title and even had to settle for third place when Hadi Choopan, Mr. Olympia 2022, came in ahead of Dauda. Now, as he says, he is ready to win!

Apart from these two classic representatives of the OPEN division, the 157 cm tall "Giant Killer" Shaun Clarida is also returning to the Arnold Classic podium, and he would like to improve on his best from 2023, when he managed to break into the Top 5!

Let's take a look at the form these three fighters have had in recent days.
