From article:
"Chessboxing, for those who haven’t already guessed, combines the two ancient sports of boxing and chess... into something new and exciting. In this 'sport of Kings' (and Queens, and Pawns) opponents attempt to defeat each other by 'hook or by rook' as they alternate between rounds of chess and boxing until victory comes by way of checkmate or knockout."
