Oliva Jr. has not been on stage since 2021 and is ready to make his return to the stage.

The 2023 Musclecontest California State Pro is set to take place on Saturday in Anaheim. According to his social media, Oliva Jr. will be on stage.

“We did it!! ???? Never done this before and got on a plane across the world to hop on stage right away. I’m a stress ball of water but no matter what happens I’m soooooo happy to be able to just do what I love and be back in my home. GOD BLESS THE USA????????

A post shared by SERGIO OLIVA JR???????????????? (@sergioolivajr)

Last month, Sergio Oliva Jr. claimed that he would compete at the 2022 New York Pro and California State Pro if travel allowed him to do so. He did not appear at the 2023 New York Pro so it will be interesting to see if he actually makes it to the stage in California.

Oliva Jr. has taken necessary time off and has been working on improving his physique in recent months. Fans will have to wait until the show begins to see if Sergio Oliva Jr. actually makes his way to the stage.
