48-year-old Arm wrestling legend Devon Larratt is en rout to King of the Table 7. One of the highlights of the event will be a super match between Devon Larratt and Dave Chaffee. However, the 48-year-old isn’t going to the event alone. Traveling with him is his biggest cheerleader and wife, Jodi Larratt. Devon and Jodi Larratt is probably the only power couple in arm wrestling, as the actress has competed in the sport. However, in the selfie No Limits uploaded, he compared his wife to an NBA legend.
On June 18, the former member of the Canadian armed forces uploaded a selfie on Instagram. While only half of his face was visible, Jodi Larratt can be seen sitting beside her husband. In the caption of the post, the arm wrestler compared his 5’6” wife with NBA legend, the 7’1” giant Wilt Chamberlain.

Wilt Chamberlain is an NBA legend. The towering basketballer is among the finest athletes the NBA has ever seen. In fact, he was such an outstanding athlete that even today, fans believe he was among the strongest men to play basketball. While unofficial feats like benching 500 lbs and having a 48-inch vertical leap are all associated with the 7’1″ giant.
In fact, Arnold Schwarzenegger once vouched for Chamberlain’s strength. The bodybuilding legend said while filming?Conan the Destroyer, Chamberlain picked him up with one arm. However, on the flip side, Jodi Larrat is just 5’8″ tall and competed in the 128 lbs weight class in arm wrestling. However, Doven Larratt didn’t compare the two in the traditional sense.

“On the way to smash Dubai.. with the Wilt Chamberlain of cornerpeople,” wrote Larratt in the caption of his post. While Jodi Larratt might not compare to Chamberlain in physical stature, when it comes to cheering and motivating her husband, Jodi Larratt is unbeatable. For years, the arm wrestling legend’s wife has cheered and hyped up her husband from his corner, and probably that’s why Larratt compared her to the NBA legend. While this time is going to be no different, Devon Larratt is looking to pick up a massive win.
A high-stakes arm wrestling match
While fans consider Devon “No Limits” Larratt one of the all-time greats, recently, the Canadian champion has struggled to find success with his right hand. After avenging his loss against Michael Todd in 2021, Larratt looked to face Levan Saginashvili. The Georgian arm wrestling giant is currently among the strongest arm wrestlers in the world, and despite bulking up, Larratt lost.
Now the former King of the Table winner will face old rival Dave Chaffee in Dubai. The former WAL champion has won three left-handed matches this year. However, he will take on the experienced American for a right-handed battle. Chaffee, who lost to Devon Larratt at WAL 504 in 2019, will look to avenge his loss.
