Early life and success
Fox was born on the British Caribbean island of St. Kitts. This beautiful island has a diverse population of people from Africa, Pakistan, Lebanon, Britain, and Portugal. Soon after his birth, his family moved to England. As a child, Fox got involved in sports and was very good at them, but his true passion was bodybuilding and he excelled in it as a teenager. His father died when he was just 14, so he used that as motivation to hit the weight room hard.

At just 18 years old, he won the 1969 Junior Mr. Britain. He would follow that up with 2 straight wins smashing his opponents easily. He won the 1971 Junior Mr. Europe. A few years later he would win Mr. Universe and Mr. World.

Joe Weider had been spending a lot of time recruiting the best British and European bodybuilders and convincing them to move to the USA to further their ambitions. Fox would move to California and shoot for IFBB competitions. In 1981, Fox got a very strong 5th place at the Grand Prix Belgium. He was just now turning 30 years old, and the next year he was runner-up at the Night of Champions and 8th at Mr. Olympia.

In 1983, Fox would get 2nd place at Swiss Grand Prix, and 5th at Mr. Olympia. He would get 7th at the 1986 Mr. Olympia, and finished in the top 12 the next two years.

Murder or self defense?
On September 30, 1997, Fox had an altercation with his ex-girlfriend model and her mother at their dress shop in downtown Basseterre, St. Kitts. While struggling with his gun he ended up shooting both of them near the door as he was getting kicked out. He claimed to the court that it was self-defense, but an employee implicated him by saying that Fox wasn't defending himself.

He was sentenced to hanging, but after an appeal, it was reduced, and he now spends his time at the west wing of the Basseterre prison reminiscing about his glory days of bodybuilding, at the Mr. Olympia, next to Samir Bannout, Lee Haney, and Frank Zane.
