Ludwig's "biggest failure" is actually my fault
I did my best to get chessboxing sanctioned, but failed
I made a video sharing what really happened on my last minute trip to Vegas to try to save the event
Nothing but respect for how
@LudwigAhgren
handled this whole situation
Biggest failure of my career (too)
Feels bad but also using it as motivation. Lots of respect for how
@LudwigAhgren
handled this. High integrity, lots of empathy, and admirable leadership 🫡
im super bummed to announce that chessboxing will not be happening this year
this is definitely the biggest failure of my career but has motivated me to be the best creator i can be in 2024

Depends on your body / needs, but in an ideal scenario, yes. You can also supplement with vitamins / honey, etc depending on your blood sugar needs and personal biochemistry. I’ve done a few long fasts if you want to chat on it, and can point you towards resources that can help
It’s going down tonight on Twitch!

I don’t, but depending on the individual, sometimes it’s necessary (blood sugar considerations like diabetics or similar conditions). Also, some don’t want the full ketosis / fasted state experience and honey can help make it more comfortable.

Been promoting amateur, pro, and charity boxing for 12 years. Never had more obstacles than trying to get chessboxing to Nevada, but we’ll figure it out. Thanks for the kind words and best of luck with your next event!
