Both Chess and Boxing are recognized sports under the International Olympic Committee, yet for some reason those goons haven’t approved the sport that truly separates the men from the boys – Chess Boxing. This is the kind of sport guys from Old Spice commercials play, a sport Cliff Young couldn’t join out of curiosity and dominate, a sport too violent for a grandmaster and too intellectually challenging for a world champ… the true test of a well-rounded man.

Big thanks to the Stew crew for the heads up on this phenomenal sporting event!
