Johnny
Fuller, who competed extensively in the '70s and '80s, died on
January 20, 2006 in Bournemouth, England, after a long battle with
leukemia. He was 62. Born in the Caribbean, but raised in
England, Johnny was renowned for his vascularity and hardness.
He gained his pro card by winning the light-heavyweight
division at the 1980 IFBB World Amateur Championships and went
on to compete in four Mr. Olympia contests, where his best
showings were eighth in 1981 and 1983.
In
his last contest, the 1987 World Pro Championships, he placed
13th. Despite carrying oodles of muscle, he was very flexible
and very fit. Before entering bodybuilding, he boxed
professionally and, ran in at least one marathon. He was a
great believer in organ meats.
Johnny
was a guru before the term became fashionable. He always made
a point of helping out young competitors with his nutrition
and training knowledge, and there was no charge.

Johnny Fuller Funeral - As some may or may not know Johnny
Fuller, one of England’s best ever bodybuilders, passed away this
year. He was a good friend and someone who I used to train with many
years ago. He helped me get ready for the UK finals in 1989 where I
placed 3rd...
