Malawi\u2019s number two bodybuilder Yasin Ichocho Suwedi has come out of the cocoon to clear his image following a coffin stunt that brought differing views from his fans.<\/p>\n
Ichocho stunned the bodybuilding community when in imitation of professional wrestler Undertaker, was ferried in a coffin before he started showcasing his muscles.<\/p>\n
Following the act some of his fans were excited but others attacked him that he had joined Satanism claiming that he had abandoned his Muslim religion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if I were Satanic I would have been still using mini buses to travel around the city. I say if I were satanic I wouldn\u2019t still be in a rented house in Ndirande Township.<\/p>\n
\u201cI performed that stunt because I was imitating Undertaker. He is a Christian and I a Muslim. I was given about an hour to showcase my muscles so as a way of utilising the time I was given I had to do that stunt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ichocho said he was working on ways to improve his status in bodybuilding.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to become a better bodybuilder that can transform lives with different projects across the country. I want to do well during this year\u2019s Mr Malawi Bodybuilding contest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
During the Mr Malawi contest staged in November, promising bodybuilder Brown Gondwe emerged champion in absence of five-time champion Henry Master.<\/p>\n
The contest was held at Mkango Lodge in Blantyre and it attracted about 35 bodybuilders.<\/p>\n
Gondwe was selected because of his overall body mass and muscle definition which put him above the rest. Ichocho finished on second position while Emmanuel Mukuwa was third.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
