Chess + Boxing = Mayhem

I’m off on a short break, returning after the Jubilee celebrations.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for something to do this weekend, there’s no better night out than the Chessboxing Mayhem event taking place at the Dome in Tufnell Park.

“Chessboxers from around the globe descend on London to duke it out to be the brainiest and the brawniest.

“Chessboxing is the ultimate test of brain and brawn and is always a special night. We have a stellar line-up of fighters and entertainers including new faces and established stars of the chessboxing scene.

“Chessboxing is a wild mix-up of two of mankind’s oldest sporting obsessions. Opponents slug it out on the chessboard and in the ring in alternating rounds of chess and boxing until there is a winner by checkmate or KO, whichever comes first.”

If you’re in hiding from the monkeypox, it’s also free to stream on Twitch/YouTube.
