Boxing
The Mandatory Eight (8) Count after knockdowns will be standard procedure in all WBF championship contests. When a boxer is knocked down, the referee shall audibly announce the count as he motions with his right arm downward indicating the end of each sound of the count. A boxer shall receive a twenty (20) second count if the boxer is knocked out of the ring and onto the floor. You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent. A floored boxer has up to ten seconds to get back up on his feet before losing the bout by knockout. You cannot hit with your head, shoulder, forearm, or elbow.

Chess Boxing
In a chessboxing fight two opponents play alternating rounds of chess and boxing. The contest starts with a round of chess, followed by a boxing round, followed by another round of chess and so on.
A contest consists of 11 rounds, 6 rounds of chess, 5 rounds of boxing. A round of chess takes 4 minutes. Each competitor has 12 minutes on the chess timer. A round of boxing takes 3 minutes. Between the rounds there is a 1 minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. If the chess game ends in a stalement, the opponent with the higher score in boxing wins. If there is an equal score, the opponent with the black pieces wins.

Chess boxing, can we all agree, is harder than regular boxing. They have the regular rules of boxing applied to them plus the fact that they also have to play a game in chess. I don't know about you but after having my face punched I would not be in the mood to play a game of chess. We should commend them for their strength, aggressiveness, and intelligence.
