Watch the entire match right here [previewyoutube=pHLcyYsfxB4;full][/previewyoutube] A great performance by both players that ultimately went to Dina Belenkaya. However, it was declared post-fight that Dina was actually counted out by the referee meaning Andrea should have won by TKO.

Even after a controversial ending to the chessboxing match & punching eachother in the face repeatedly - they still remain close friends to this day. Who knows, perhaps a rematch is in order to properly declare a winner! [img]https://i.imgur.com/yUf4SEC.jpg[/img] Today's setup comes from the 2022 MogulMoves Chessboxing Event.
