“Pretty Sure He’s Already Here”: Hadi Choopan’s Top Rival Assures Bodybuilding Fans Worried About His Participation Amidst Middle East Crisis

Mr. Olympia 2023 is in November and the clock is ticking for the mega event. Every bodybuilding champion who got a ticket to the ticket after winning regional rounds is gearing up to win the Sandow trophy. The event is set to take place in Orlando. However, there is always the problem of immigration visas for those who live outside of the USA. One of the most dangerous contenders, Hadi Choopan, is facing a problem with his visa at the moment.

The Iranian bodybuilder known as the ‘Persian Wolf’, has faced visa problems earlier as well, before the Olympia, and this has become a concern, especially due to the present Palestine – Israel situation. 29-year-old Arnold Classic champion, Nick Walker recently addressed this issue and a shirt or fan to Instagram.

While going through a question-answer round on his Instagram stories, Nick Walker answered an important question from a fan. They wrote, “U think Hadi is gonna have a tough time getting to the USA for this Olympia compared to b4?”

The IFBB pro who won the Arnold Classic on his first try, was pretty confident that his rival was already on US soil. He replied to the question by saying, “ Pretty sure he’s already here lol.” Seems like Walker is pretty confident about Choopan’s participation. But what is the situation with Hadi Choopan at the moment? 

The 2022 Olympia winner is said to compete this year as well, but that has still not been any official update on whether he is in the USA or not. There is another Iranian bodybuilder, who is also facing the same trouble with his visa clearance as was updated by Milos Sarcev.
