The world's top butchers are sharpening their skills as the World Butchers' Challenge (WBC) 2025 approaches, set to take place in Paris, France, from March 30-31. This prestigious event will see elite teams from around the globe compete in a high-pressure showcase of craftsmanship, speed, and creativity.

Reuben says the team is ready "I'm proud to be representing New Zealand. We've trained hard, and while we're up against the best, there's nothing we'd love more than taking down the Aussies in Paris!"
The Hellers Sharp Blacks team members have been selected for their outstanding butchery skills, as well as their ability to be part of this team, ensuring they will work well together under the enormous amount of pressure that awaits them in that stadium, competing against the world's best butchers.
