Chess Boxing?

Can you guess what these guys are doing??

A strange new hybrid-sport called Chess Boxing. You can see the official site here. One round consists of 4 minutes of chess then 2 minutes of boxing. This goes for eleven rounds or until an opponent is knocked out. There are other disqualifications but they are not worth getting into at this time.

That's all I can say about that... I honestly am speechless about it.
