'ChessBoxing' at the Boston Dome
Featuring Sergio "The Phoenix" Leveque against Hubert "The Wardrobe" Van Melick it can only be the return of ChessBoxing, the sport for the intelligent brute.

Bringing new meaning to bashing the bishop, the clue is in the title. This is ChessBoxing. Opponents thrash each other in the ring then attack each other on the board. Top of the Bill will be a massive heavyweight challenge with Sergio "The Phoenix" Leveque facing up against London's favourite Dutchman, Hubert "The Wardrobe" Van Melick. The Wardrobe's nickname stems from his imposing 6ft4in frame while Sergio is a true fighting Phoenix - his early boxing career was cut short by a terrible motorcycling accident. Sergio defied specialists who told him he would never walk again and now stands tall as a potential ChessBoxing champion of Europe. The winner of this bout earns the right to progress in the European Championship finals.

The evening kicks off with bout involving two ChessBoxing newcomers - TV producer Rob Gillies faces top political journalist Johnny Higginson - with just 10 weeks preparation time these two have plenty of heart and enthusiasm to burn. Expect a violent if unsophisticated encounter. The bout is being staged to raise money for the charity The Railway Children.
