WAYNE CLARK | Professional Basket Ball crosses over to Chessboxing

Wayne Clark has hung up his pumps with the Harlem Globe Trotters to take on the new challenge of Chessboxing. He is diving in at the deep end by taking on the reigning world heavyweight champion Sergio Leveque. Clark is an elite athlete who has not only played professional basketball on three continents, but he also holds the world record for the highest ever slam-dunk.

The two have already exchanged blows on social media, Clark calling out Leveque’s more than adequate frame, the Italian responding in spades. Pundits are drawing comparisons between the Joshua – Ruiz fight. This latest crossovers follows cricketer Freddie Flintoff’s to boxing and footballer Grant Holt to professional wrestling.
