Hundreds of revellers watch ‘world gravy wrestling championships' at pub garden
Hundreds of revellers descended on a pub garden today (Mon) to watch the ‘world gravy wrestling championships.'
The international competition - named one of the top ten weirdest 'sports' - sees 16 men and eight women battle in the sauce-soaked ring.
Around 2,000 litres of gravy are used at the event, which is held annually at the Rose ‘N’ Bowl pub in Rossendale, UK.
Competitors, who wear fancy dress, aim to win the championship title by beating their opponent during a two-minute long wrestling match in the brown condiment.
The final winners of the tournament will be decided by a panel of four experienced judges, who will decide the winner on their wrestling skills and fancy dress costume.
