Bodybuilding legend Hadi Choopan, widely regarded as The Persian Wolf because of his exceptionally aesthetic physique, is undoubtedly regarded as one of the best bodybuilders in the realm of the sport. He is the reigning Mr. Olympia champion and has garnered a lot of attention after winning the title in the 2022 championship.

With Mr. Olympia 2023 just two weeks away, all his fans and followers are rooting for him and promoting him on their own social media platforms. Well, his recent promotion was about a grand gesture made in the United States to honor him as the legend that he is.

A bodybuilding fan page, called Nick’s Strength and Power, recently took to their official YouTube channel and shared a video, explicitly giving out all the details about the honorary statue built on the legendary Persian Wolf. He began the video by stating how Hadi Choopan is undoubtedly one of the most respected Mr. Olympia champions in history.

Thus, the statue was built in his home country to show him respect, and its height to more than a two-story building. He said, “This is not just a life-size statue, like what we’ve seen of Arnold Schwarzenegger, this is as big as a house, as tall as a house.” He goes on to say how it is beyond imagination to put in so much effort for an existing athlete.
