The 2023 Texas Pro brought stiff competition. With much consideration from the judges, Andrew Jacked defeated Hunter Labrada in a close battle that seemed to be determined by the level of conditioning he brought from the front. In a recent Instagram post, Jacked thanked all of his competitors who gave him the motivation to come in at his best.
At the 2022 Arnold Classic Amateur, Andrew Jacked kickstarted his IFBB Pro League bodybuilding career on a high note earning his IFBB Pro card looking monstrous but shapely at the same time. Soon after, Andrew competed at the 2022 Texas Pro and the Arnold Classic UK where he glided to first-place finishes at both. The Nigerian native’s win in Texas qualified him for the 2022 Olympia competition, where he finished in the top ten claiming eighth.
Following a remarkable year, Jacked graced the stage at the 2023 Arnold Classic in March. Andrew Jacked soared past the competition where he took third falling just behind Samson Duada and Nick Walker – two of the best in the world. Though Andrew came in with a stellar look, this didn’t earn him his ticket to the 2023 Olympia.
Andrew Gives Thanks To Fellow Competitors After His Win
Andrew Jacked entered the 2023 Texas Pro contest with a stunning physique, looking both conditioned and full. Jacked found himself squaring off with Hunter Labrada where he ultimately won and ensured himself a spot on the 2023 Olympia stage.
Following his latest victory, Andrew was incredibly gracious to his competitors after the show where he said in an Instagram post:
“Big Love and Respect to both this gentleman right here @hunterlabrada @carlos_thomasjr_ and every competitor on that very stage for making me go the long distance of bettering myself.”
Coming in close second, Hunter Labrada will still prove to be a major contender at the 2023 Olympia. Having already claimed a qualification from his win at the 2023 Tampa Pro, Labrada and Jacked will come head-to-head again soon, where they will settle the score. Even though both men have each other to take on, there is still the obstacle of beating the current champion Hadi Choopan.
Legends of the sport have acknowledged Andrew Jacked as a legitimate threat heading into November. In June, former four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler discussed the Men’s Open lineup. He believes that Andrew Jacked has the potential to win the sport’s most coveted title with the right improvements.

In a recent update, Choopan shared his explosive workout, which sent an imposing message to his competition. With Choopan’s discipline and determination, taking his title will be no easy feat. However, many believe if Jacked can complete his physique with added muscle tissue, he’s a Mr. Olympia winner in the making.
