Shanghai's favorite black tie boxing bloodbath returns for another round, and this year White Collar Boxing International is taking you to the rainforest. Brawl on the Bund: Rumble in the Jungle will rock Hyatt on the Bund on June 3 for a one-time only event that's the first of its kind in the world.
More than 500 people will watch Shanghai's finest duke it out for victory. 'White Collar' boxers have been plucked from offices across the city and put in intensive training for three months, and will be ready to show off their newly mastered hooks, jabs and – importantly – ability to take a punch.
In the next week leading up to the match, we will be posting interviews with the boxers. From the final bout, Sammy "The Pikey" Bowen and Zach "Hebrew Hammer" Brown took the time to answer some questions.
