Bicep king

The Pro Panja League India: Sachin Goyal, a professional arm-wrestler for Pro Panja League side MP Hathodas, affectionately known as the ‘Bicep King’ by his two-million plus strong fanbase on social media is all set to flex his strength in front of fans in his home city of Gwalior with the second edition of the tournament set to kick-off on Tuesday.

PPL Season 2 has chosen the scenic Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, as the host city for its highly anticipated upcoming season. Following the success of Season 1, this decision is consistent with the league’s strategy to boost and expand sports appeal across the Indian Map and to make the tournament accessible in iconic Indian destinations, significantly boosting event partnership and sporting talent participation. The decision to host Season 2 in Gwalior was likely influenced by the venue's previous experience hosting the Pro Panja Ranking Tournament in 2022.

In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Goyal reflected on getting the chance to show his skills in front of his home crowd and how the PPL has revolutionised the sport.
