LOCAL BODYBUILDING FANS will have their Christmas gift in November.

That’s because the emperor of the sport, Phil “The Gift” Heath, will give a posing exhibition at the Darcy Beckles Invitational Classic slated for the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre on November 11.

Former Barbados champion Roger Boyce, the chief administrator of Erin Promotions, the show promoters, said that to have the muscle marvel would be the crowning glory for the annual event which will be celebrating its tenth edition.

“Heath is the king of the sport. He is the best of the best. I am overjoyed to have him. The contracts have been signed. It’s a done deal,” said Boyce. (MK)
