In a sport where speed and movement are as equally noble traits as power, there’s everything to play for.
Paul and Becky Browse have been living a lavish lifestyle since securing the title unexpectedly 12 months ago. Rumours have been flying around as to how they have been spending their winnings. Some say they imported a luxury yacht to host late night thumb wrestles on the Norfolk Broads. Others claim they paid for a thumb wrestling school to be set up in the crypt of Norwich Cathedral. One thing is for sure, now that they have tasted success, they will stop at nothing to keep hold of this unique World Championship title.

Some say they double as allen keys. Some say they are not machine washable. All we know is, they’re certain to provide one heck of a challenge for anyone hoping to try their luck with ‘the Thumbertaker’.
