Blessing Awodibu is one of bodybuilding’s brightest prospects on the rise, especially after the season he registered thus far in 2022. In a recent interview with coach Hany Rambod, Awodibu reflects on being smuggled into Ireland from Nigeria, improvements for 2022 Mr. Olympia, and his rekindled rivalry with Nick Walker.
Awodibu, a Men’s Open Pro, quickly gained popularity in the sport courtesy of his charismatic personality and funny social media presence. The Nigerian-Ireland native began his Pro tenure last year, where he competed at two shows. Awodibu made his debut at the 2021 Indy Pro, securing third place, behind runner-up Mohammed El Emam and champion Justin Rodriguez. Next, Awodibu made his way to the 2021 New York Pro, an event that gave birth to his rivalry with Nick Walker. Ultimately, Awodibu would succumb to his competition, finishing the show in sixth place, behind his rival Walker who won the show.
