The Brutal Bertil Fox

As a bodybuilder Bertil Fox has been a great asset to the sport, providing entertainment on the stage for 25 years as a fierce competitor. However, the sunny blue skies overhead have turned grey in recent times, after he was hit with a murder conviction. Bertil Fox was born in the Caribbean island of St. Kitts in 1951, but immigrated to England with his family only a year after his birth. As a teenager he was encouraged to take up bodybuilding and quickly found success, winning the 1969 Junior Mr. Britain as an 18-year-old. Fox was clearly a gifted bodybuilder and continued to demolish his competitors in just about every event he entered as a young man. He won the Junior Mr. Britain on two more occasions, in 1970 and ’71, before winning the Mr. Britain in 1976. He also claimed titles at the 1971 Junior Mr. Europe, Mr. Europe, Mr. Universe and Mr. World before a runner-up placing at the 1980 WABBA World Championships.
