After his victory, Fitzwater shared his confidence in an interview.

Fitzwater continues to improve each time he takes the stage. Many believed that he brought his best to the 2024 Olympia and was able to make a big jump into the top four. He began a busy 2025 season by competing against a stacked lineup in the Pittsburgh Pro, where he finished third.
During the 2025 Olympia, Fitzwater returned to the top four but remained behind Dauda. He got his rematch in Prague and Fitzwater earned a surprise victory over the former Olympia champion.

In February, Fitzwater shared is steroid cycle for the 2025 season. During this interview, he shared that it has been the biggest he has ever been. Fitzwater shared that in January, he was at 269 pounds and was continuing to work on adding size. This is the most comfortable he’s been with his physique at this size and believes he can compete with anyone after his finish at the Olympia.
“Just test and EQ again. About 700 of both a little GH, running six IUs right now, and that’s it.”
Fitzwater is now qualified for the 2026 Olympia and will be in contention to finish in the top three.
