Chris Bumstead must face a challenger who keeps improving

While the new dad is focusing on his family, he is also getting ready to fend off new challenger Wesley Vissers at the upcoming Olympia. Vissers established himself as the no. 1 contender for Chris Bumstead after defeating Ramon Dino at the 2024 Arnold Classic. The seventh-place finisher at last year’s Olympia then repeated the feat at the 2024 Arnold Classic UK. Yet, he isn’t done improving.

Wesley Vissers impressed fans yet again while guest posing at an NPC bodybuilding show. The Dutch Oak looked incredibly muscular for a Classic Physique athlete. Although he is currently in the off-season, Vissers looked conditioned as well. Fans also noticed that the Dutchman had improved his lower-body muscularity, especially his hamstrings and quad width.

So now that Chris Bumstead and Courtney King’s daughter have no further complications, he’ll be able to focus solely on defending his Classic Physique title against Vissers. It’s also important to note that perennial challengers Ramon Dino and Urs Kalecinski should not be counted out either.
