This will allow him to compete in any competition organised by IFBB internationally.<\/p>\n<p>Weightlifting and Bodybuilding Association of Malawi President Arox Kamng\u2019ona has congratulated Muhuwa for earning the professional licence. Kamng\u2019ona confirmed that the champion will no longer compete in local amateur competitions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is ineligible for our local amateur bodybuilding competitions, including the annual Mr Malawi bodybuilding contest. So we will have a new Mr Malawi come October 2023. We thank him for his hard work, focus, perseverance, humility and the support he renders to the association,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Muhuwa competed at the iCandy NPC Regionals and came first in the open light heavyweight category. He also excelled in the overall division, which involves winners of all divisions.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Muhuwa competed in the NPC African Pro Qualifiers where athletes from all over Africa battled it out to win one Pro Card which was up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p>Muhuwa won the light heavyweight division, earning him the IFBB Pro Card that made him an internationally recognised pro bodybuilder. Speaking on arrival at Chileka Airport in Blantyre on Tuesday, Muhuwa said he was humbled to have won four gold medals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will use this as a stepping stone to new challenges. I am now ready to compete at the highest level. My plan is to compete and win in more international competitions,\u201d Muhuwa said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
