ABS PRO 8 - DUBLIN

he ABS PRO returns with a lineup stacked with familiar names and fierce rivalries—where every surname already carries weight before the bar even leaves the floor. Nicolaas du Preez steps back onto the platform chasing history, looking to become the first athlete in a decade to defend an ABS title, while also seeking redemption against Karl Wedel, who’s already proven he can win under pressure after taking the Clash Belt on bodyweight.

In the women’s division, all eyes turn to returning legends like Stefi Cohen, making her ABS PRO debut, alongside seasoned contenders such as Lillie Riley. At the top, reigning champion Stella faces the ultimate test—defending her crown against a global field determined to make sure her name doesn’t stay at the top for long.

Former champions like Luke Tolman and Fernando Arias return with unfinished business, while an entire chasing pack waits for the smallest slip to turn into their moment of glory. At the ABS PRO, the names are known—but only a few will be remembered as champions.
