Coming soon
The hardest game, under the lights.
Chessboxing Australia Fight Nights are the sport at full volume. Two fighters, boxing and chess, a winner by knockout or checkmate. Real bouts, real stakes, and a crowd that came for exactly this. Loud, unpredictable, and decided by a single punch or a single move.
Coming soon. Boxing rounds and chess rounds. Won by knockout or checkmate.
It does not matter which side you come from. A boxer who learned the board and a chess player who learned to punch are the same thing to us. What matters is that you can hold your own in both.
Open to men and women, 18 and over, and there is no chess rating you need to reach.
