In a competition where the Latinos slayed all the spots in the magic circle, Kevin Montes of Puerto Rico was named Mister Universe 2017 during the finals held at the IFA Villas Bavaro in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The 6’4″ hunk outclassed 38 other delegates on the way to the title.

Kevin’s runners-up are (in this order): Jose Roberto Velasco of Bolivia, Zamir Sierra of Mexico, Manuel Valero of Spain, André Miguel Bernal of Cuba and Douglas Castro of Margarita Island.

Our very own Mister Philippines, Denver Hernandez, made it to the Top 15 semi-finalists and was given the Special Award of Mister Universe Popularity 2017 by topping the online votes.

Congratulations to all the winners!
