Goal: 🏆 Bring chessboxing to the Olympics and become IFC champion at 65kg
Thomas Cazeneuve, born January 23, 1993, is a French chessboxer and the first Frenchman to become world champion in this hybrid sport that alternates rounds of chess and boxing. He grew up in Saint-Géniès-de-Malgoirès, in the Gard, learned chess at age four and won several departmental and regional titles. He took up boxing at 15 and fought as an amateur in kickboxing, K-1, French boxing and MMA. In 2016 he met chessboxing founder Iepe Rubingh and won his first bout against Igor Orlov at an IFC Berlin vs Moscow event. In 2017 he became the first French world champion, winning the -66kg title in Kolkata, and he regained the world title in 2019 in Antalya. In 2022 he reached the world final again and finished vice-champion after losing in the last chess round. A member of the French Chessboxing Federation and of the Intellectual Fight Club (IFC), the professional chessboxing league, he has a record of 11 wins in 12 fights, including victories over Timur Iyubinskii and Paul "The Hitman" Roberts. Standing 175cm and fighting around 65kg, he is also a speaker and the co-founder of Focus Recrutement. Currently preparing for the next World Championships, he wants to win the IFC title at 65kg, keep growing the sport through content creation, and bring chessboxing to the Olympic Games....
