About 10 years ago, when Stephen Sunday walked into a gym for the first time, having a chiseled abdomen or biceps was never his goal. All he needed was strength to become a better footballer\u2014playing as a right winger or a striker\u2014with a dream of breaking through to the Uganda Cranes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

If flying his national flag was his major dream, in football he had chosen a very long or wrong route. Because bodybuilding and fitness has proven a shortcut to international stardom.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Sunday mentions no honours for all the years he tried his luck at the beautiful game but within just five years into the fitness industry, he landed his first title after just four near-misses. And soon, the man famed as the King of Abs, won the Mr Body Of Africa category at the Mr Africa International 2023 Championships\u2014his biggest crown.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
