Wesley Vissers believes he is the biggest challenge to Chris Bumstead.
Wesley Vissers has emerged in the Classic Physique division. He is a threat to the title at the 2024 Olympia and recently sat down to discuss the division at the upcoming show. Vissers believes he has a chance to dethrone Chris Bumstead but who else is in the mix? After his victory at the 2024 Arnold Classic, Vissers claims to have an edge over Ramon Rocha Queiroz.
“If I’m being honest, I think Ramon won’t be able to beat me ever again anymore.”

Wesley Vissers pulled off an upset at the Arnold Classic when he defeated Ramon Dino, who has been the runner-up in each of the last two Olympia competitions. Standing tall at 6’2” and weighing from 216 lbs to 234 lbs, the physique that Vissers has crafted has earned him a lot of respect and popularity in the bodybuilding world.

The Classic Physique division is top-heavy with multiple competitors chasing Bumstead. Vissers spoke on the potential matchup at the top.
“He isn’t perfect. No one is perfect. When I stand next to him, I want to overpower his weaknesses and my weaknesses won’t be so easily overpowered by his strengths.”

Breon Ansley is a former champion who will take the Olympia stage for the final time in Classic Physique. He has been a constant in the top five but Vissers believes he will have to improve from his last show.
“If I’m very honest, if he shows up as his last show in Dubai, he’s not going to be one of the top guys. If he shows up like at the Arnold or maybe even better then he could be part of the top five.”
Urs Kalecinski is another threat to the crown after multiple finishes in the top three. Wesley Vissers said he can challenge Ramon Dino if he enters at his very best.
“I think he if he improves upon the Arnold Classic UK shape, he ‘s even going to be a challenge for Ramon.
Urs is difficult to predict because he was off at the Arnold then he was bang-on at the second Arnold. Then his placings were kind of weird in correlation to how he looked so then you’re like, okay where does he really place?”
The 2024 Olympia is just over one week away and the Classic Physique divisions will be one of the highlights of the weekend.
