Career

During his early teens, Larratt's interest in arm wrestling grew. At the age of 18 he played his first tournament. After joining the Canadian Special Forces at the age of 21 , he continued to train and compete. He himself ascribes a large part of his success to the experience gained at various military bases.

Larratt gained notoriety mainly through his victory over the then most successful arm wrestler John Brzenk in 2008. He is also the first arm wrestler to win world titles with his right and left arm that same year. In 2015, Larratt won the WAL title in the left arm heavyweight 89-102 kg (196-225 lb). He also took third place with his right arm. In 2016, Larratt defended his WAL title with his left arm and also won the WAL heavyweight championship with his right arm. In 2017 he repeated this result, winning the WAL championships with the right and left arm again. In 2018 he lost the WAL Championship title to Michael Todd. That same year he lost a match with his left arm in Armfight 50 against Denis Cyplenkov with a final score of 0-6. During his match against Dave Chaffee, which he won 3-1, Devon Larratt weighed 122 kg (268 lb). During the WAL 506 in 2019, he defeated the Brazilian arm wrestler Wagner Bortolato in a best-of-5 format with 3-1. During the match, Larratt weighed 124 kg (273 lb), his highest fighting weight to date.

Larratt had several surgeries during his career. In 2013, he had surgery on his right arm and elbow so that he could temporarily only fight with his left arm in competitions. In 2016 he underwent the same operation on his left elbow, but recovered much faster and won the World Armwrestling League (WAL) with this arm that same year.
