Putting in years of work toward his training and physique, Rusmore is now ready to go up against giants with the exciting news that he’ll be representing South Africa at the upcoming International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation (IFBB) World Men’s Bodybuilding Championships!

Set to take place later this September on Kish Island in Iran, Rusmore is ready to showcase the sum of what all his dedicated training has surmounted to.

Dedication, discipline, and countless hours of blood, sweat and protein have all added up to his massive opportunity at Worlds—an opportunity he knows is no small feat. 

“It’s a great opportunity for me in my journey to become the best as I compete with international athletes. It shows that I’m on the right track, and I believe that God is with me,” says Rusmore. 

His time to shine on Kish Island will run from 23 to 27 September 2024.
