The IFBB Pro League schedule is picking up with another major show coming this weekend. In a recent YouTube video shared on April 9, bodybuilding veterans Iain Valliere and Seth Feroce shared their top 10 picks for the upcoming 2025 FIBO Championships.
The Men’s Open lineup for the FIBO Championships could make for a surprising showdown. One of the heaviest betting favorites is Andrew Jacked. He recently competed at the 2025 Arnold Classic and took third place. Jacked crafted a powerful posing routine in Ohio, showing off his physique blindfolded, which was reminiscent of the late Cedric McMillan.
The field of competitors is deep. Sasan Heirati is in the mix, especially after taking second place behind two-time Arnold Classic champ William Bonac at the Detroit Pro. Sergio Oliva Jr. is also making an anticipated appearance at this event. It will be his first bodybuilding contest of the 2025 season as his pursuit of an Olympia qualification heats up.

The 2025 FIBO Championships is set for April 12 in Cologne, Germany, and will feature competitors from Classic Physique, Bikini, and Figure in addition to the headlining Men’s Open division. With this year’s Mr. Olympia taking place four months from now, securing a qualification is on the mind of every Open Pro in the league.
