Yes, you heard right! When PokerStars EPT Copenhagen finished last Saturday Gus Hansen challenged his fellow countrymen Theo Jörgensen for a real fight in the boxing ring. And of course money was involved as we are talking about some of the most successful poker players there are.
Gus Hansen was the one that came up with the brilliant idea to challenge another poker player in the boxing ring for some serious cash, this in order to promote his new site Gus Hansen TV. The one that accepted Gus challenge was no one less than Theo Jörgensen who is known to be someone that is not afraid to take on new challenges.
Before the match
Gus was the big favorite to win the fight as he's a quite big guy, he used to train a lot and still does. Theo is also very fit but no one could ever even imagine that he could beat Gus Hansen more than at the poker table. Gus was also very confident that he would win the fight as he and Theo agreed that Gus would get $25,000 if he won and Theo would get $35,000 if he won. This means that Gus would get $10, 000 less if he took home the fight.
Outcome
It was a very tuff match between the two Danish poker pros. One could see that both of them had been training very hard before the match and that neither of them wanted to lose. Unfortunately for Gus Hansen was that he underestimated his opponent Theo Jörgensen who took home the match on points after a couple of rounds.
