CHESSBOXING FESTIVAL – Watch Simon Williams fights for the WCBA British Heavyweight Title this July: https://rb.gy/qtmd4h

If you’re watching this on YouTube you’ll be treated to seeing Dymer topless, apparently he wasn’t aware that he was going to be on video as well as audio!

Dymer is fresh from a Latvian chessboxing event, a hard fight but he now has more victories than the great Carl Ouch – evidenced by the chessboxing database. Carl was in ‘The Last KO’ and Gavin discusses the film with Dymer who provides a cameo in the film. The film showcases the contrast between Carl’s home life in Wales, his chessboxing retreat in Serbia and his fight in Paris.

Dymer has a month to prepare for his fight with Dele Martins. Dele has had one fight against Yordan Yordanov, Gavin and Dymer were expecting a technical fight, it actually turned out to be a very aggressive performance from Martins to unsettle Yordanov. Marins has an impressive physique, but can he bench more than Dymer – set you expectations to ‘MACHO”!!!!

Magic! That’s right Dymer is a magician, he is planning to do some for his ring entrance. His corner man is also a magician – how can we possibly wait for it! Dymer has achieved everything he wanted to do in power lifting, lifting at elite level in 4 different weight categories. His last event he benched 225kg – that is 3x Gavin.

Dymer started his carrier in 2012, 12 years ago – he is a chessboxing veteran with 12 fights. His favourite fight was his first fight, winning a title belt. His second fight was dramatic for other reasons. The organiser of the event Andy Costello was ringing the bell early for the chess rounds because his fighter was losing on the chess.

The pod discussed the Fury Usyk fight, Dymer loves both personalities and cannot wait for the rematch. Fury was lucky not to get counted out, it was a clear victory for Usyk.

Dymer has the strongest punch in Chessboxing according to the punch strength arcade machine at the Helsinki event 2 years ago. Will there be a machine at the festival? The old team will be back together for the festival including the godfather of chessboxing Tim Woolgar and ‘historical’ chessboxer Matt Read.

Dele should be careful, Dymer might eat him apparently.
