Nick Walker is planning to return to the stage in 2025 and it begins with the Pittsburgh Pro.
Nick Walker has had a difficult time over the last couple years but has a plan set up for his return to action. During a recent video, Walker shared his plan to compete at the 2025 Pittsburgh Pro while discussing how he believes he stacks up against the top three at the Olympia.
“I’m 296. The heaviest I ever was in the morning was 302. I plan on doing Pittsburgh.”
Walker continued to explain how he has left the New York Pro “up in the air.” He has not committed or denied entry. Walker decided to sit out the upcoming Arnold Classic because he is not ready.
“The reason I didn’t do the Arnold, because everyone keeps calling me a p*ssy, I didn’t feel I was going to be ready for it. And I honestly didn’t think me, Kyle, or any of us knew my size was going to come back as fast as it did and then some.”
Nick Walker Believes He Can Beat Samson Dauda At Olympia
Walker has finished in the top three at the Olympia before and believes he can return. While Samson Dauda is the reigning champion, Walker believes he is not the biggest threat moving forward.
“If they all come in correct, it will be all of them. If I had to narrow it down, I’ve always said Hadi.”

Nick Walker has gone head-to-head with Dauda in previous competitions and this gives him confidence in the battle. This includes Derek Lunsford as well, despite never topping him on stage.
“I’ve beaten Samson, Samson has beaten me so I think he’s beatable. I haven’t beaten Derek or Hadi but I firmly believe I can beat Derek and I also think I can beat Hadi but I think Hadi would be my ultimate, biggest challenge.”
Overall, Walker believes Dauda “left the door open” after his look at the Olympia, despite deserving to win.
“I almost think that could be a very unbeatable type of look we just haven’t seen yet. That’s why I said, he deservingly won the Olympia and I said that a million times but he still left the door a little open there.”
Nick Walker knows his own flaws and will work to make improvements moving forward.
“The only downfall that I have, which I think I’m working on, my quad sweep and obviously my waist will always be a structural flaw for me.”
