Andrew Jacked bounced back from a shaky start to claim the 2025 FIBO Pro title – and with it, a coveted spot at this year’s Mr. Olympia.
The Mona Lisa of muscle entered the pre-judging round looking a touch off – slightly bloated by his usual razor-sharp standards – and was edged out by Persian-born, UK-raised Sasan Heirati by just a single point.
But questions over his conditioning were quickly silenced when Jacked returned for the finals in Cologne, Germany, on April 12.
This time, he brought the heat: fuller muscles, improved definition, and a commanding presence that saw him outshine Heirati and Sergio Oliva Jr in a three-man pose-down.
The win seals Andrew Jacked’s place at Mr. Olympia 2025, set to unfold under the bright lights and leather frills of Las Vegas this October.

If he brings that finals-night package into pre-judging in Vegas, the prophecy might just be fulfilled.
