The 2024 Dubai Pro was held on the weekend of July 27-28, 2024 in Dubai, UAE. Four IFBB Pro League Men’s divisions held contests. All four offered 2024 Olympia qualifications to the winners, but all four champions were already qualified for the 2024 Olympia before the contest.
Those four winners were Behrooz Tabani (Men’s Open), Angel Calderon Frias (212 Bodybuilding), Breon Ansley (Classic Physique), and Erin Banks (Men’s Physique).

Men’s Open Winner — Behrooz Tabani
Tabani was a contender to win this show, but the majority of experts thought that first place would be awarded to either William Bonac or Nathan De Asha. However, Tabani looked his best and pulled off the upset win. It is his second pro victory of the season and third of his career.
Bonac, a two-time Arnold Classic winner, finished in second place, and bronze went to De Asha. Both are Olympia-qualified.
212 Bodybuilding Winner — Angel Calderon Frias
Frias made his 2024 season debut at this show. His previous time on stage was at the 2023 Olympia when he finished third in the Olympia 212 contest behind winner Keone Pearson and runner-up Shaun Clarida. That top-three finish guaranteed Frias a spot in the 2024 Olympia lineup.
Frias’ victory in this competition blocked another entry to the Olympia because only pro show winners advance to the 2024 Olympia. Nihat Kaya and Nasser Mohammed finished second and third, respectively.
Classic Physique Winner — Breon Ansley
Ansley weighed in at 185 pounds. He established himself as the top athlete in the Classic Physique via a perfect score on the scorecards.
Ansley has qualified for the Classic Physique Olympia for life thanks to his past victories in 2017 and 2018. However, he would have had to secure clearance from the IFBB Pro League to compete in the 2024 Olympia without winning a pro show. This victory for him eliminated that need.
Men’s Physique Winner — Erin Banks
This was Banks’ first pro show of 2024. He was locked into the 2024 Olympia thanks to scoring the Olympia title in 2022. He used this pro show to gauge his progress at this stage of his Olympia prep. He appeared to be on point.
Athletes in this show who have not yet won a contest have until Sep. 15, 2024, to earn a victory and qualification for the Olympia.
