What is Chessboxing?
Chessboxing and Smashboxing are, well, exactly how they sound. The former has been a thing since the early 90’s, where fights alternate between a round of chess and a round of boxing. The winner is typically determined by checkmate, resignation, knockout, or disqualification by the referee. Though, boxing points are used if it goes the distance.
It was just the same for the Smash Bros side of things too – one round of Smash before one round of, well, actually smashing each other with boxing gloves.
