'''Mogul Chessboxing Championship''' was a {{s|wikipedia|chessboxing}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' smashboxing event hosted by {{Sm|Ludwig}} on December 11th, 2022. Unlike standard tournaments, the event hosted matches between various content creators and ''Melee'' players. Chessboxing is a hybrid sport between two players playing alternating rounds of {{s|wikipedia|blitz chess}} and boxing until one wins by a knockout in boxing, a checkmate in chess, the opponent exceeds the allowed time in chess, or there is a resignation or disqualification. In a similar vein, "smashboxing" is a hybrid sport between ''Smash'' and boxing. The smashers participating in the event were {{Sm|Spud}} vs. {{Sm|2saint}} and {{Sm|KJH}} vs. {{Sm|Fiction}} in smashboxing, {{Sm|HugS}} vs. {{Sm|Toph}} in chessboxing, and Ludwig, fighting {{s|wikipedia|CDawgVA}} in chessslapping.

Lawrence Trent vs. Aman Hambleton was announced as the main card and was the highest-rated chessboxing match of all time, however, Disguised Toast vs. PointCrow went last as the main card. Following Disguised Toast vs. PointCrow, {{Sm|Ludwig}} and {{s|wikipedia|CDawgVA}} did a surprise unannounced match of chesssplapping (alternating face-slapping and chess).

Players denoted with an asterisk (*) are replacement players.
