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?”

Chessboxing Newsletter | Stealth Chessboxing

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.

Toto the Robot – this Christmas

Toto the Robot

Automata have fascinated humans for centuries, but none so much as a plucky little robot from Irland called Toto. Last time out he found himself a long way from Kansas, face down on the canvas, after just 15 seconds. Cries of “blood and iron” saw knockout artist Otto “von Bismarck” Viherä chalk up a victory for mankind in what was a decisive blow to our would-be AI overlords. Many imagined such a hammer blow would see the bionic bipod go the way of the betamax. But no, back in the ring and rebooted, Chessboxing Nation is proud to present Toto the Robot headlining Season’s Beatings 21 – VIVA LA MACHINA!

Watch Toto’s last fight in full and subscribe to our YouTube channel here.

Killer Queen

She’s extraordinarily nice. Killer Queen Marie Obegi from Lebanon will be facing off against Lithuanian Giedrė Suchovaitė – the first female bout in chessboxing since the LCB Crazy Horse event in 2014. Obegi has a penchant for punching and claims to enjoy being clocked in the smacker during sparing. The deadly Duchess is enjoying training for the fight which has given her a break from her exhausting royal duties which include; owning a yacht, walking sideways on a horse and allowing people to eat cake. When asked to comment on the fight, Suchovaitė simply said, “The revolution will be bloody and necessary.” – just going to show that the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
