Eddy Ellwood (born 1964) is a British professional bodybuilder and Strongman competitor. Ellwood is best known for being a 5 time NABBA Mr Universe (pro). He is also a 4 time winner of the England's Strongest Man title, including the IFSA version.
As a teenager, Eddy Ellwood was a boxer but found a lack of local opposition in the light-heavyweight division. He stepped up a division to heavyweight and this required more hours in the weight room. This resulted in the 19-year-old Ellwood entering a junior bodybuilding contest which he won. He went on to be twice British Champion, and five times Professional Mr Universe.[1]
Eddy was sponsored by Allsports Protein powders and vitamins, but spent more money on his sport than he made. He then decided to become a strength athlete and won the England's Strongest Man title three times.[2] Eddy won the IFSA version of England's Strongest Man in 2005.[3] Ellwood finished 4th at the 2003 & 2004 Britain's Strongest Man, which earned him an invitation to the 2003 World's Strongest Man contest in Victoria Falls, Zambia.[4]
