World’s Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper, the defending champion, is set to renew his keen rivalry with the two-time WSM winner, Tom Stoltman. Hooper dethroned the Invergordon man in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, earlier this year, and the pair clashed again at the Strongman Classic at London’s Royal Albert Hall, with Stoltman getting the better of the Canadian on that occasion. Hooper prevailed at their most recent head-to head at the Shaw Classic, so predicting the result in Glasgow will be anything but easy!

If the Hooper vs Stoltman showdown isn’t enough, then perhaps the prospect of Iron Biby attempting to re-write his own Log Lift world record will suffice! No other human has ever pressed more overhead than Cheick Sanou – more commonly known as Iron Biby – and on his last visit to Glasgow he eclipsed Žydrūnas Savickas’s world record with a stunning 229kg (504lb) press.
