and in this corner

This is a shoutout to a friend of mine with a theory on why a certain professor is so socially inept. And about what he does in his free time.

I think I've just found the answer:
'Chessboxing' not for nerds
Tihomir "Tiger" Titschko is the new European heavyweight "chessboxing" champion after a nine-round thriller that saw the 14-stone champion land a decisive checkmate against his German opponent, Andreas "Doomsday" Schneider.

The World Chess Boxing Organisation event comprises up to 11 four-minute rounds of chess alternating with two minutes of boxing.

A spokesperson said: "The basic idea in chessboxing is to combine the No 1 thinking sport and the No 1 fighting sport into a hybrid that demands the most of its competitors - both mentally and physically."

On second thought, the professor is too mathletic, and it seems that he'd get spanked in this sort of showdown.
