Denied entry into the United States for the 2023 Olympia, this event becomes his first opportunity to face off against Olympia rivals, including the formidable Samson Dauda.

Andrea Presti: Pursuing Pro Success
Known for his three consecutive victories at the Mr. Big Evolution Pro, Andrea Presti steps onto the Romania Muscle Fest Pro stage with a track record of success.
While he has dominated in his signature event, a win in a different pro show has eluded him so far.

His consistent presence at the top of competitions makes him a formidable contender in this lineup.
Marcello De Angelis: Brazilian Sensation Debuting in Men’s Open

What adds an extra layer of intrigue to his entry is the coaching expertise of Milos Sarcev.
The guidance of a seasoned coach can often be a game-changer, and Marcello De Angelis’s transition to the Men’s Open under Milos Sarcev’s tutelage elevates the anticipation surrounding his debut.
Keep an eye on this dynamic newcomer as he enters the spotlight on the international stage.
