ENGLAND vs. SIBERIA
Topping the bill is Andy ‘The Rock’ Costello, Britain’s number one heavyweight conten-der, versus Nikolay ‘The Siberian Express’ Sazhin. This is a rematch following Sazhin’s close victory in his hometown of Krasnoyarsk in October last year. Costello is a former top-10 UK cage-fighter while Sazhin is a veteran of over 100 bouts in the tough Russian amateur federation. Both men are highly-rated chess players in their own right.
On a packed undercard we have the UK women’s lightweight championship with Carrie Morrow facing Ruthie “The Pink Machine” Wright. Chris “The General” Levy is out for revenge against “The Bedfordshire Bull”, Mike Botteley after a narrow defeat in 2011. We will also see debut performances from Biggles Bristol and Max Brown both from London and the first appearance in the chessboxing arena, Budapest’s first chessboxer Attila “The Hungarian” Por.
Giant digital screens plus live commentary by International Master, “The Incomparable” Malcolm Pein, means audiences follow the fast-paced drama of every chess move as it unfolds.
Live cabaret performances, DJs and special guests top out the night.
