=====================================================================================
In the world of arm wrestling, 2025 has been a year filled with exciting matches and impressive performances. Here's a roundup of some of the standout moments and athletes that have made this year memorable.
Levan Saginashvili, nicknamed "The Georgian Hulk," continued his dominance in the arm wrestling world, particularly in the right arm category. At the East vs. West 18 event, he secured a victory over Ermes Gasparini, a promising heavyweight known for his remarkable wrist and hand power. Interestingly, Gasparini had previously defeated Saginashvili in the same tournament.
Another notable match at East vs. West 18 saw Genadi Kvikvinia, a Georgian arm wrestler renowned for his powerful right arm and fantastic hook, lose to Devon Larratt. Despite Larratt's left arm not being as dominant as Saginashvili's, he managed to secure the win.
Speaking of Larratt, the Canadian legend has had a busy year in 2025, winning matches on his left arm against Alex Kurdecha, Corey West, and others. Larratt's adaptability and technique have earned him a reputation as one of the strongest arm wrestlers ever, with his peers praising him highly.
In August 2025, the "Strongest Arm on Earth" event featured elite level competition. The event pitted Brandon Allen (37 years, 142 kg) against Brian Shaw (43 years, 188 kg), showcasing impressive physical stats, such as Shaw's 22.4" biceps.
Devon Larratt also competed in these August events, demonstrating his versatility by winning matches on both his left and right arms. He previously dominated top-ranked opponents like Michael Todd and John Brzenk.
James Wall and Curtis Cameron were the main event on August 9, 2025, also demonstrating top-tier competition on the circuit.
Artyom Morozov, a Russian arm wrestler, had a successful year in 2025, including a victory over Alex Kurdecha at East vs. West 18. Vitaly Laletin, a towering figure in arm wrestling, also had a strong year, particularly with his left arm training.
Alexey Voyevoda, a former world champion, made a spectacular return to the sport in 2025, with his showdown versus John Brzenk at King of the Table 8 being highly anticipated. Kamil Jablonski, a Polish arm wrestler with a strong record, is another name to watch, although his details were not provided in the given paragraph.
Ermes Gasparini, despite his loss to Saginashvili, is considered one of the most promising heavyweights in the world. Denis Cyplenkov, also known as "The Hulk," is another legendary figure in arm wrestling due to his enormous hands and forearms. He is anticipated to return to the East vs. West stage in 2025.
