Ludwig reveals Andrea Botez ruling following Chessboxing loss controversy YT: Ludwig \/ IG: AndreaBotezYouTube giant Ludwig Ahgren has revealed that Andrea Botez \u201cshould have\u201d won her Chessboxing match versus Dina Belenkaya, which she controversially lost via checkmate. Ludwig and Mogul Moves\u2019 inaugural Chessboxing event was a resounding success. The event broke viewership records on both Twitch and YouTube and introduced hundreds of thousands of fans to the eclectic hybrid sport. However, it wouldn\u2019t have been an influencer event without a little controversy. Specifically, Andrea Botez\u2019s match with Dina Belenkaya was criticized for giving the win to the latter, despite Botez seemingly outperforming her opponent. Now, both Ludwig and Mogul Moves have explained that Botez should have been awarded the victory. Ludwig confirms Andrea Botez should won at Mogul Chessboxing Championship In a December 12 statement, Mogul Moves said that Andrea should have been awarded the win after the referee \u201cinitiated the fourth standing count of the fight\u201d. However, this did not happen and Belenkaya went on to win via checkmate. As a result, Mogul Moves have awarded Botez a belt too. Their statement read: \u201cAfter reviewing the fight from last night and talking to the chessboxing officials Andrea Botez should have been awarded a TKO after the referee initiated the fourth standing count of the fight. \u201cAfter discussing with the players, we are not reversing Dina Belenkaya\u2019s win because the fighters played it out in the moment and she competed valiantly. However, we have decided to award Andrea a belt for her performance and to correct the decision that was made in the ring.\u201d Ludwig himself added: \u201cAfter talking to the officials we thought this was the best path forward. Impossible to rewind the clock but always best to do right when possible. Congrats to [both].\u201d Andrea responded positively to the news, saying: \u201cDouble win let\u2019s go.\u201d So too, did the community, with many praising the effort to rectify the error and ensure the event recognized Botez\u2019s success in spite of the outcome. Given the event\u2019s success, it\u2019s safe to say we can expect further chessboxing events in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
