The. 2025 Detroit Pro is bound to be an exciting show from the start.
The 2025 Detroit Pro will take place on Saturday in Detroit with two divisions in bodybuilding taking centerstage. The Classic Physique division will join a loaded Men’s Open roster that will compete for the overall prize during the night portion of the finals.

Top Competitors To Watch
William Bonac
Bonac enters the competition with the most experience in the field. He recently finished fifth at the Arnold Classic and was a Top 10 Olympia finisher last year. Bonac has struggled with his midsection but if he keeps this in check, it is likely that he enters as the favorite entering Detroit. Bonac is still extremely muscular and has shown that he can compete at the highest level.
Carlos Thomas Jr.
Thomas Jr. came into the pro ranks with plenty of hype due to his massive physique. He finished third at the 2023 Texas Pro before taking a hiatus. He earned his Pro Card in 2021 and has appeared on stage just one time. Thomas Jr. has incredible size but has focused on improving his conditioning. If this comes in at the top, he could compete for a title but should be in the top five regardless.
James Hollingshead
Hollingshead appeared on stage in Columbus and finished eighth in Men’s Open. He is a bodybuilder that has been busy over the course of his career and has impressed at many different shows, along with his presence on social media. Hollingshead has been working to add size to compete with the best in the world.
Ronald Gordon
Gordon finished third at the Detroit Pro last year. He has experience on the stage and knows what it takes to show up in his best shape. Over the last year, Gordon has improved his size. He comes in with a small waist and impressive legs on stage. Like other competitors, if Gordon comes in with great conditioning, he can not only repeat in the top three but potentially win the show.
