2019’s winner
Despite the 2019 edition of UK’s Strongest Man hitting our screens now, the competition actually took place during the summer, specifically July 26th to July 28th 2019.
As a result, the winner of the competition has already been revealed to be Scotland’s Paul Benton who claimed his first major title with the victory.
Following behind in second place was Graham Hicks, who also won Britain’s Strongest Man this year, and in third was 2018’s UK’s Strongest Man champion Pa O’Dwyer.
No Eddie Hall this year?
In recent years, the UK and Britain Strongest Man competitions have been dominated by Eddie Hall who won the UK competition six years in a row (2011-16) and the Britain competition five years in a row (2014-18).
However, the former World’s Strongest Man has been absent from the UK competition for several years now after retiring from Strongman competitions towards the end of 2018.
