WE WON!!!! 🥊
Added 2022-12-13 00:41:06 +0000 UTCWhat an incredible night guys!
For months this Chessboxing fight has loomed over everything I’ve done, haunting me day and night.
Last night over 350,000 watched the madness unfold as I came close to checkmating my opponent swiftly early in the fight, before I blew it and lost the Queen leading us into a 7 round nightmare.
But my mistake led to a far more entertaining fight for it.
Be advised, it's the most stressful thing you'll ever see, haha.
I walk away with a great respect for boxing and the discipline required to fight and I absolutely intend to keep the training up next year. The fitness journey is just getting started.
Enough talk though, be sure to check it out if you missed it guys including our epic intro featuring myself, Nic, Pete and Connor - my personal highlight of the evening.
A huge thanks to you all for your support throughout all of this this. With this out of the way, I look forward to getting back to the videos after a chaotic month!

Congratulations and mad props for competing. Most people would not put themselves in that position

2022-12-27 19:36:39 +0000 UTCI seem to be in a minority of one. I don't want to see you get punched, or punch somebody else. I was sure (hoping) this was all leading up to a VR match 😔. Violence for the sake of spectacle feels like a backwards step. (Unless it's Natsuki and Ryotaro with a lightsabre 😀)

2022-12-13 17:57:26 +0000 UTCCongratulations Chris! It took courage to sign up to such a match, and even more courage to go out on your own bathrobe. You were only missing some fuzzy slippers. :p

2022-12-13 13:49:02 +0000 UTCHope you didn't get too hurt from the boxing? I watched it live and I was losing it when they said you both decided against protective gear! What if the other guy smashed your face?
