After a top 8 finish at the 2023 Mr. Olympia, Tonio Burton is back with a vengeance, preparing for his Legion Sports Fest 2025 return. Despite qualifying for Mr. Olympia 2024, Tonio made the strategic decision to sit out, focusing entirely on adding mass and improving his physique.
Tonio is widely regarded for his incredible symmetry, small waist, and full muscle bellies, drawing comparisons to the legendary Dexter Jackson. While he doesn’t have the sheer size of some of the mass monsters, his shape and conditioning have allowed him to consistently beat larger opponents. His ability to stay shredded while maintaining full muscle bellies is one of his most valuable assets.
His 2023 Olympia performance saw him defeat names like Regan Grimes, Hassan Mostafa, and Charles Griffin, proving that his structure and proportions allow him to stand tall against much larger competitors. Often compared to Dexter Jackson for his compact yet aesthetically dominant build, Tonio now aims for an even better showing. His ultimate goal? A top 6 finish at Mr. Olympia 2025.
With Legion Sports Fest as his warm-up event, Tonio plans to qualify and peak at the right time for the biggest show of the year. He has spent the past year working on weak points, particularly focusing on bringing up his quad sweep and lat width to create a more dominant silhouette on stage.
If he can continue refining his posing routine, muscle fullness, and conditioning, Tonio has a real shot at cracking the top tier of Olympia competitors. His combination of classic proportions and modern muscle mass makes him one of the most exciting athletes to watch in 2025.
Will his size gains and strategic improvements be enough to challenge the best in the world? Fans eagerly await his return to the stage.
