Former Mr. Olympia Champ Faces “Visa Delays,” Pulls Out of IFBB Pro Guest Posing

Former Mr. Olympia champion, Big Ramy, has hit a roadblock on his journey to the IFBB Pro guest posing at the 2024 Pittsburgh Pro. He won’t be gracing the stage due to visa issues, leaving fans disappointed.

Known for his legendary status in bodybuilding, Big Ramy has clinched two Mr. Olympia titles and consistently placed high in competitions. Now, missing out on posing at the Pittsburg Pro, Ramy showcased regret regarding the situation.

Big Ramy appreciates fans for their incredible support

Big Ramy took to his Instagram and wrote, “Dear Fans and Fellow Athletes, I’m truly sorry to announce that due to visa delays, I won’t make it to this year’s Pittsburgh Pro event.” His absence not only means missing out on guest posing, but also the chance to connect with his supporters.

This setback hasn’t dampened Big Ramy’s spirits. He reassured fans of his commitment to meeting them at future events and thanked them for their continued support.“I promise this setback only strengthens my commitment to meet and thank each of you personally at future events. Your understanding and support during this time are immensely appreciated,” he declared. He ended his message by saying, “Thank you for standing by me. Till then, stay strong. With gratitude, Big Ramy.”

Moreover, this isn’t the first time Big Ramy has missed the Pittsburgh Pro. In 2022, he was absent without prior notice, leaving fans puzzled. This time, however, he chose to inform fans in advance, demonstrating consideration for their expectations. Looking ahead, Big Ramy aims to compete in the 2024 Olympia, and fans eagerly anticipate whether he can bring his A-game to the stage and showcase his best physique.

While Big Ramy will miss out, many A-listers are set to grace the stage at the Pittsburgh Pro.

The line-up still promises an amazing showdown

A post shared by Bis and Tris showcased elite bodybuilders on the official poster as guest posers. Names like Urs Kalecinski, Chris Bumstead, and others are set to be present at the Pittsburgh Pro.

Apart from them, the promising guest posing line-up includes Nick Walker, returning after an injury, aiming for the New York Pro Show, and possibly the Olympia 2024. Next is Derek Lunsford, a fan favorite for his size and condition. Not to forget, Samson Dauda will also impress with his size and shape. Andrew Jacked and Hunter Labrada also promise stunning performances.
