Daniel conquered Africa✔ Could he conquer Europe too?
The Arnold Classic Africa winner Daniel Matloga was invited to compete at the Mr and Ms Europe competition in Spain this past weekend. He finally got chance to test compare himself and see where he stacks up against the some of the best guys in the IFBB Elite Pro division.
A week on from becoming the King of Africa, Daniel Matloga competed internationally as a Pro for the first time when he lined up at the Mr Europe bodybuilding show. This was an invitation only show with only the best from all over the world being granted the opportunity to battle it out for the title.

Dan with Michal Krizo (Elite Pro number 1) |
The Black panther placed 8th in the 11 man line up.
Scorecard:
Receving an invite at such a prestigious show indicates the level the Dan is at right now.
It is however clear that still has alot of work to do if he's to present a package that will have him fighting it out in the first callout at such shows. These are the best in the world, the cream of the crop.
Knowing his work ethic, his hunger and desire to achieve big things it's not impossible for him to reach those heights. We'll keep a close eye on him as it will be interesting to see how he progresses throughout his next offseason.
