Despite being born in Nigeria, Samson Duada now resides in the United Kingdom. Surely, the pressure might be intense for him to get the coveted title to England. In the interview, the reigning Arnold Classic champion was asked about how he felt about this Olympia 2023 as England hasn’t gotten the prestigious title for more than 20 years.

In response to the question, he said, “Honestly it’s something that is beyond belief it’s crazy, because I remember when I started bodybuilding and all around the UK there was always a talk of Dorian and Dorian and who’s ever going to be able to do what Dorian did so to be in the position now, honestly it’s something that I’m in disbelief of and I just can’t it won’t sink.”

Samson Dauda also expressed the fact that he is now really hungry to ensure that he becomes the first Englishman after Dorian Yates, to take the title home. It was nearly 26 years ago that Dorian Yates won the Olympia title. To be a 6-time Olympia winner, the legend sacrificed many things.
