Evan Singleton Wins Strongman Classic 2025 for 2nd Career Title, Full Results

Eric Singleton won the 2025 Giants Live Strongman Classic on Saturday in London.

This year's competition featured five events: log medley, Hercules hold, frame carry, deadlift and Atlas Stones. Twelve competitors took part in the Strongman Classic this year, and all participated in each event.

This event was points-based to determine the winner. The first-place finisher in each event received 12 points, followed by 11 points for second, 10 points for third and so on until one point for 12th (last). If there was a tie, the two competitors shared points. For example, a first-place tie between a pair would result in 11-and-a-half points for each.

Singleton finished fourth in the log medley (five logs in 47.22 seconds), first in the Hercules hold (71.39 seconds), first in the frame carry (9.13 seconds), tied for third in the deadlift (seven reps) and ninth in the Atlas Stones (four in 19.61 seconds).

Here's a look at the final point tallies. The entire event-by-event results can be found via Strongman Archives. There were two ties for fifth and seventh place.

Singleton has fared quite well in strongman competitions. On the Giants Live circuit, the 32-year-old American is a six-time winner, most recently taking down the 2023 Strongman Classic and 2023 World Open before Saturday.

The former professional wrestler, who completed in WWE NXT under the name Adam Mercer, finished fifth at the 2023 World's Strongest Man before earning third in last year's World's Strongest Man competition. Earlier this year, Singleton finished sixth at the 2025 Arnold Strongman Classic.

Now he's a two-time Strongman Classic champion after a well-deserved victory.
