Chess Boxing
Chess boxing is a hybrid sport where competitors alternate between rounds of chess and boxing, with the goal of winning by knockout, checkmate, or if their opponent runs out of time. Matches consist of 11 rounds, alternating between a 4-minute chess round and a 3-minute boxing round, with a 1-minute break between each round. The sport was inspired by a 1992 French comic book and gained real-world traction starting in 2003, even featuring as an exhibition match at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
