The World Chess Boxing Assocciaiton (WCBA) is one of two organisations claiming to be the governing body of the sport chessboxing.[1][2] The WCBA was founded by Tim Woolgar in 2003 in response to the late Iepe Rubingh founding the WCBO during the same year. The WCBA is registered charity based in the UK.
The principal objective of the WCBA provide a global framework which represents the interests or chessboxers and those involved in and running the sport of chessboxing before any and all other interests including those individual interests of WCBA members and the interests of the WCBA itself.
History
[edit]The WCBA was set up in response to the WCBO which provided exclusive rights for professional chess boxing to Chessboxing Global, a corporation owned by WCBO founder Iepe Rubingh. The feature film By Rook of Left Hook: The Story of Chessboxing charts the rise of the sport and how Woolgar and Rubingh were unable to work together. Negotiations to merge the WCBA and WCBO are still on-going in 2024 following Rubingh's death in 2021.
