Plucking professional, \u2018white collar\u2019 office workers out of their cubicles, throwing them into a boxing ring at a ritzy hotel and proceeding to party like its 1989 has proven to be a successful venture throughout the world.<\/p>\n

These so-called \u2018White Collar Boxing\u2019 events are a runaway success in places like Shanghai, Beijing and Taiwan. Aussie-born and Shenzhen<\/a>-based entrepreneur, fitness guru and Project 0\/1 gym proprietor John Graham brought the first white-collar fight night to China\u2019s newest Tier-1 city, holding a fight at\u00a0Shenzhen\u2019s Hilton Hotel.<\/span>\u00a0John will build on the buzz generated by his first event by holding another fight on\u00a0June the 17th.<\/span><\/p>\n

The amateur fighters who volunteer to compete this summer\u2019s fight are well into training at this point, undergoing a rigorous program designed to take them from office drone to Sylvester Stallone in the span of only a few months. Fighters train up to twice daily with the professional staff and boxing instructors at Project 0\/1, a full-service, executive-style boxing-focused gymnasium.<\/p>\n

Under the careful tutelage of international boxing coaches Adam, Timur and Sasha, our desk jockeys will jettison their quick 100-word-per-minute typing skills in favor of fancy footwork and a quick left hand jab and right hook follow-up.<\/p>\n

When fight night rolls around this June, there will be several hundred spectators and a laundry list of sponsors representing Shenzhen\u2019s unique and well-differentiated business and service sectors. Movers and shakers in the Shenzhen business world will be dolled up in their finest black-tie regalia watching the newly minted fighters prove their mettle.<\/p>\n

There will be a silent auction and several fundraising events during the matches with all proceeds benefitting Heart for China.<\/p>\n
