Erin Banks’s statement on his competitor

In a video of the Mr Olympia’s 2023 Press Conference, one could see Erin Banks talking about his rival Kyron Holden. When the host asked Erin Banks “Does Kyron have your number now he just beat you three weeks ago some of these same judges are going to be right here at the Olympia.”

He replied “I’m bringing something totally different from four weeks ago.” The host further asked him about Brandon Hendrickson, who came in second last year, “I mean you could see it literally could have gone either way but it did go your way and you earned that and he was the first one to give you props, the host said. However, to this, Banks replied that this was not the case, “No he didn’t, he cried the whole year,” he added.

Kyron Holden recently posted a picture on Instagram with a caption that suggests he’s feeling spiritually connected. He thinks that while striving for a great body, he has also grown as a person with a more significant soul. In the caption, he wrote, “In pursuit of my physical best/ but my soul got bigger I’m more spirit than flesh ….peak week!! @malenaapadilla had some ideas.”

Even though Kyron Holden achieved a big victory by beating Erin Banks at the Legion Sports Festival, he is super excited about the Mr. Olympia competition.
