This past weekend, South African Classic bodybuilder Youri Mukuna took the stage at the prestigious Sheru Classic in New Delhi, India -
. The event, which concluded recently at Bharat Mandapam, is India's largest health and fitness festival and serves as a significant international stage for talent from around the world -


At the Sheru Classic, Mukuna secured a 10th place finish. This result mirrors his performance earlier this season at the Netherlands Pro in April, where he also placed 10th. For an athlete navigating the deep and competitive Classic Physique division, delivering two top-10 finishes in a single season demonstrates a steady level of performance against elite international competition.

Mukuna's trajectory shows a competitor who is steadily gaining ground. His back-to-back tenth-place finishes in 2026 suggest that he has successfully stabilized his performance at a competitive level on two different continents—first in Europe at the Netherlands Pro, and then in Asia at the Sheru Classic.


Competing on stages from Texas to India, South Africa's Youri Mukuna continues to build his reputation as a resilient and dedicated competitor. As he gains more experience on the pro circuit and refines his conditioning, he remains a notable ambassador for South African Classic Physique.
