The World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships (formerly IFBB Mr. Universe) is a male bodybuilding contest organised by the International Federation of BodyBuilders (IFBB) and first held in 1959. The name was changed in 1976 to avoid confusion with the NABBA Mr. Universe.
The 2005 championships is due to be held in Shanghai, China on 23-28 November 2005.
Winners
Classes
From 1959-1969 there was just one category of competition - open. In 1970 the competition was split into three height classes: Short (under 5'5"), Medium (under 5'8"), and Tall (5'8") with an overall winner also decided. In 1976 they were abandoned in favour of weight classes. These have changed over the years but as of 2005 they are (weight in brackets is the maximum for this category):
- Flyweight (60 kg, 132 lbs)
- Bantamweight (65 kg, 143 lbs)
- Lightweight (70 kg, 154 lbs)
- Welterweight (75 kg, 165 lbs)
- Light-Middleweight (80 kg, 176 lbs)
- Middleweight (85 kg, 187 lbs)
- Light-Heavyweight (90 kg, 198 lbs)
- Heavyweight (over 90 kg, 198 lbs)
An overall winner award was not awarded between 1976 and 1995.
