Stoltman reportedly took home around $100,000 for his victory last year.
He also set a piece of history, becoming one of just seven men to win the competition more than three times.
However, he will have to see of brother Luke Stoltman alongside a whole field of competitors.
Former winners Mariusz Pudzianowski and Eddie Hall recently stepped into the MMA ring, with Hall scoring a brutal 30-second KO win.
Pudzianowski currently holds the record for the most World’s Strongest Man victories, with seven.

What is the World’s Strongest Man 2025 prize money?
The exact prize fund for this year’s competition is yet to be revealed, but reports suggest that it could be higher than the 2024 winnings.
Tom Stoltman pocketed $100,016 for lifting last year’s crown, according to reports.
But the total prize pot was reportedly a record-breaking sum of $263,200.
Looking ahead to the 2025 edition, we could see a further increase on top of the big bucks earned by winners in previous years.
Prize money is also given to the runners-up for their efforts and cash is distributed among the top performers.
