Meanwhile, Bess revealed that 2016 silver medalist; Emmerson Campbell has been doing tremendously well at regional and international competitions.
In addition, “Roger Callendar has really transformed his body and he can fit easily into the 143lb category. He is a beast of a small physique… the thickness of his muscles and their development, we think he can do well”, Bess revealed.
