This sport is unbelievable! Two contenders fight it out in the ring, alternating between boxing and chess. You have beat your opponent via brains or brawn. I’ve got a video of it coming up.

CHESS BOXING

According to Wikipedia, “Chess boxing is a hybrid sport which combines the sport of boxing with games of chess in alternating rounds. Chess boxing fights have been organized since early 2003. The sport was started when Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh, inspired by fictional descriptions of the sport in the writing of Enki Bilal, organized actual matches. The sport has become increasingly popular since then. To succeed players must be both skilled chess players and skilled boxers.”
