Chess Boxing

I just heard this on the radio and had to share it.

Chess Boxing is a sport where two people alternate rounds of boxing and playing chess until someone defeats their opponent with a knock out or a check mate (or a judges decision).

Y'know, I would have thought that to be a joke. But no.

I wonder how the audience deals with the chess part? If they came to see boxing, I suspect that they would get really bored really quickly.

Hey! You took my bishop! (Wack!)
I didn't think you would go there! (jab)
That was my favorite knight! (sock!)
You sunk my Battleship! (K-O)
