Oktoberfist 26 brings the electrifying spectacle of chessboxing to London's Scala on 8 October 2026. This thrilling event features various performers delivering high-octane matches that alternate between intellectual strategy and physical knockout. Attendees face the head-to-head collision where nerds meet a bashing in an atmosphere charged with raw energy. Tickets are priced between £16.03 and £74.33 for this exclusive opportunity to witness combatants win by checkmate or KO.
Chessboxing is alternate rounds of chess and boxing, win by checkmate or knockout. Wrestling meets The Queen's Gambit, nerds meet a bashing.
Chessboxing fans, get ready to raise a stein for your favourite sport this autumn. A variety of chessboxing stars are preparing to give you the most entertaining evening of live sport at London's Scala nightclub. Ready your leather shorts; we will have our usual team of talent!
Chessboxing is a wild mix-up of two of mankind’s oldest sporting obsessions. Opponents slug it out on the chessboard and in the ring in alternating rounds of chess and boxing until there is a winner by checkmate or KO, whichever comes first.
Chessboxing has been described as both nerd-fighting and the ultimate sporting challenge of the 21st Century.
