Sydney Bar Week is just around the corner.
And one of the great events in store this year is this one from Raj Nagra’s Bartender Boxing Organisation. The big fight night comes to Bar Week on Sunday 15 September, and will represent the culmination of three months of training.
Last Friday the program got underway in earnest, with a Top 20 list of bartender taking part in the try-outs. Put through their paces, 14 bartenders made the cut — take a look at them below.
“It’s an exciting time for the contenders who will need to focus on the next three months,” says Nagra. “Some of the bartenders will need to make some lifestyle changes and get fighting fit for the big event scheduled during Bar Week on the 15th September 2019.”
