Chessboxing Ocho

What is Chessboxing Ocho?

Chessboxing Ocho is a chance for you to experience what it is like to be a chessboxer and hone your chessboxing skills in a controlled environment. Chessboxing Ocho consists of eight fighters matched by weight and boxing ability sparring simultaneously in two rings with 4 chess boards. Sparring is conditioned appropriately for experience and ability. Chessboxing format is 3 mins chess, 3 mins boxing, 1 min transition with 9 mins time control.

The purpose of Ocho is not to win but to improve. As you develop your chessboxing and gain ring experience, you will progress through a set of grades from white hand wraps through to black. Each grade indicates your current level with the final grade of black hand wraps denoting you are title-ready.

Chessboxing Ocho happens each Quater at Islington Boxing Club. If you would like to take part in the next Ocho, please attend training and we will do what we can to get you in the ring! If you are already part of our community please fill in the form on the OCHO PAGE.

Oktoberfist 23 | 7th October 2023 | British Heavyweight Title Fight

SOLD OUT | WATCH SOCIAL MEDIA FOR RESALE

This October chessboxing will be taken to another level as Olympic gold medalist Birk Ruud takes to the ring. Ruud will take on TV personality Nicolay Ramm and the bout will be the centre piece of an episode of the show Helt Ramme Sporter. The show features Ramm taking on celebrities at unusual and obscure sporting events but he will have his work cut out against the super fit 23 year old olympian. Headlining the event will be a heavyweight title fight to shake the foundations of the World Chessboxing Association; David “Northern Powerhouse” Jarmany takes on Matt “The Minotaur” Coldwell, both with a ELO in excess of 2000 with power to match. Jarmany’s previous opponent “The Bulgarian Beast” Yordan Yordanov will be back in the ring taking on debutant Dele Martins in what is tipped to be a fascinating strategic boxing match between these two heavyweights. As if that wasn’t enough, we also welcome into the ring for the first time two feisty, fisty welterweights so evenly match it’s bound to be a bout for the ages.

Of course we have our usual expert commentary team and all the pizazz and excitement you expect from chessboxing in London. Get you tickets now, the show is almost certainly going to sell out.

Chessboxing Newsletter | Steph’s Packed Punch

If you want to save money on your mother’s day gift, you know which terrible 80’s TV show they’re bringing back (it’s Challenge Anneka) or your following The Big Poo Review (yes that really was an episode) you were probably watching Steph’s Packed Lunch on Channel 4 last Friday week. Rubbing shoulder with D-listers like Denise Van Outen, Alan Johnson and turd experts alike, three of CBN’s finest demonstrated the sport to a national audience and even managed to get Steph in the ring as well. The show got in on the St Patrick’s Day bashing and included a Guinness cake shaped like a leprechaun’s hat, a full troop of Irish dancers and Steph herself showing Flatly-eque skills during the introduction of the show.

The show also included Anneka Rice running through the set looking for Steph’s Packed Lunch and cracking jokes about sound man Dave’s massive boom. CBN’s Gavin Paterson was plucky enough to chat on set with the jump-suited heart throb, “When I was 10 I watched you paint Happisburgh lighthouse in Norfolk, it could do with another lick of paint to be honest.” Rice replied, “Well that’s lovely dear, in my eyes you’ll always be a 10 year old boy, what the f*^k is chessboxing?”

If you have nothing better to do you can watch the full episode HERE.

Despite getting around 4 million views on YouTube the rest of the Internet appears completely unaware of Ludwig’s Mogul Chessboxing Championship. In a growing rift between influencers and reality, ChatGPT said when asked about the event:

“I apologies but I am not aware of any specific event or organization called “Ludwig’s Mogul Chessboxing Championship.” Is it possible that this is a fictional event or one that hasn’t happened yet?”

Eye witnesses claim that the influencer event took place IRL at the Galen Centre in L.A. in front of over 1,000 people. However, speculation is rife that these people were generated using CGI and are fake accounts masquerading as humans. Nikki Holgate, an individually-rendered NPC from Barking commented, “It’s a great gig, I just turn up with my fake boobs and slim waist, occasionally wave and open my mouth like I’m cheering.” Now that Nikki has over 10 million followers from cleaning her flat whilst wearing a novelty hat she is expecting to get a call up for the next influencer event. “I’ve upgraded my software so that I can produce inane streams of consciousness almost indefinitely, I’ll give any influencer a run for their money. I like chessboxing, it’s great.”

Ludwig, allegedly trialling a brand new business model, has claimed the event as a huge successes reporting that it only lost $200,000. You can watch the full 5 hour stream HERE.
