NABBA World Championships
The NABBA World Championships is an annual body-building event promoted by NABBA International and includes height classes for men and women as well as Masters over 40 and Junior classes for men.
Although the Mr World contest existed before 1984 it was only after the formation of NABBA International that it was formally promoted as the NABBA World Championships. The premier contest within NABBA was and still is the Mr Universe held in England each year since 1948.
Professional Class
The NABBA Pro Mr World contest was first held as an exhibition at the World Championships in 1990 in Geelong, Australia and was won by Charles Clairmonte. Following the reintroduction of the NABBA Professional Division in late 2013, NABBA International promoted a Pro Mr World contest at the 2014 World Championships in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The winner of the 2014 Pro Mr World was Mark Getty from Northern Ireland. Getty also won the overall amateur title at the 2014 World Championships.
