SPORT: PHYSICAL CULTURE/BODYBUILDING

COMPETITIVE ERA: 1958 - 1982 

Serge Nubret was born on the 6th of October 1938 in Anse Bertrand, Guadeloupe. After a happy childhood, running around and playing in the fresh air of such an environment, he moved to France to pursue his scholarship, he was 12 years old.

Soon enough, he became aware of his exceptional potential for athletics. Thus, in 1958, back in Guadeloupe after accounting studies, he decided to dedicate himself to bodybuilding which was to become, in his own words, his "reason of being".

Gifted with real artistic aptitudes, Serge was then ready to fulfilling his potential of becoming the "sculptor of his own body". All were amazed and perplexed when he started to talk about his intention to becoming a world champion after only 2 years of training. Living up to his words, in 1960 he became the IFBB World’s Most Muscular Man in Montreal.

From this day forward, this exceptional athlete kept improving, winning the most prestigious titles including NABBA Mr Universe in 1976 (London), Mr World WBBG and Mr Olympus in 1977 (New York) and another World champion title in 1981 (Geneva).

In 1982, 22 years after his first world-class achievement, further demonstrating his lifetime dedication, he became the WABBA world champion in Rome, winning his fifth major title.
