July 2, 2024

“Arnold didn’t show up” – Former Arnold Sports Festival UK Promoter.

Former Arnold Sports Festival UK promoter, Stephen Olexy, has finally revealed the truth of what happened between 2021 and 2022, when he was a partner with Arnold Schwarzenegger, organizing the Arnold Sports Festival UK.

Before the 2021 Arnold Sports Festival UK, Stephen organized several events with A-list celebrities, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Jean Claude Van Damme, Mel Gibson, Conor McGregor, Mike Tyson and many others.

Focusing on bodybuilding, Stephen worked with Arnold on five separate occasions, without having any problems. In fact, Stephen reveals footage of Arnold Schwarzenegger praising him for his professionalism and organization.

After some discussions with Schwarzenegger, Stephen was given exclusive rights to bring the Arnold Sports Festival to the UK.

Stephen went on to organize two fantastic events, but this did not come without problems.

With Arnold being the main attraction of the event, Stephen organized several opportunities for fans to meet the bodybuilding legend, but the nightmare would begin when Arnold did not attend both events in 2021 and 2022.

During the interview, Stephen reveals what really happened, and what he had to go through with Arnold being a no-show at both of his events.

From being unemployed to organizing events with the world’s most popular celebrities, to organizing the Arnold Sports Festival UK, and serving 7.5 months in jail, Stephen is back and is already working on new projects and charity events.

It remains to be seen if Stephen will reveal more of what happened behind the scenes during the 2022 Arnold Sports Festival UK, with Arnold Schwarzenegger not attending the event for the second time.

At the moment, Stephen is preparing himself for several mountain climbing challenges with all proceeds going to charity.

Video Description

The first-ever episode of the Inspire Me podcast with our main host STEPHEN OLEXY. Stephen tells his unbelievable story of how whilst having to sign on at the Job centre he wrote visions down to work with A-list celebrities within 10 years and ultimately be producing world-class events with them.

Stephen had no idea how that was going to happen. Still, through pure determination and passion, he carved out a career working with some of the biggest names in the world including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Jean Claude Van Damme, Mel Gibson, Conor McGregor, Mike Tyson and many others.

Stephen created the brand ‘An Experience With’ and took the brand to unbelievable heights producing events all over the UK plus taking the brand to the USA in 2022 with Sylvester Stallone in LA. On the back of his success, he created an unbelievable relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger, creating 7 successful events with him over the years, earning amazing testimonials from the man himself including going into partnership with him and being given the rights to produce the Arnold Sports Festival in the UK for the first time ever in 2021.

The Sports Festival was unbelievable and a total sell-out of 60,000 attendees in both 2021 and 2022. Stephen will discuss Arnold’s failure to attend 2 years running which ultimately led to the demise of the event under his ownership. Stephen talks about how he made business mistakes under severe pressure in 2016/17 resulted in him being sent to prison 7 years later!

Charges were brought and pushed by the insolvency Service and upon sentencing the judge ignored 4 pages of mitigation to send Stephen to prison for 27 months. Stephen served 7.5 months and is now out and was released on the 22nd of March. The comeback is underway and he is thankful all celebrity agents he works with have stuck by him. Stephen has big plans with this new podcast ‘Inspire Me’ and is working with his team for new amazing future events to be announced very soon. It’s been a crazy journey and this is a MUST-WATCH podcast!!!
