If the football is getting us all down a bit this season, or if you're not doing too well at last man standing, or even the gambler's league I offer you a new sport. This is a sport that pushes the athlete to his or her physical and mental limits, where the winner takes all and the loser is a bellend. This is a sport where excitement and intrigue share the limelight, and where the bishop is regularly bashed.

What the feck 

I really don't understand this, they have a punchup then play chess, I don't see how the boxing fits in unless you want to knock your opponent senseless so they feck up the chess, is that the aim?

I like the YouTube comment below:
This has to be the only professional sport league that survives just on people
saying "There is no feckin way this is real" 

First I heard about it was in an EasyJet magazine - I was convinced it was a spoof.

[woof woof !]

Beats me how they manage to pick up the pieces with those boxing gloves on
