I am a chessplayer myself, so I know it. BUT in Chessboxing you are obliged to move within 15 seconds. You get a warning if you don't do it. A second warning means disqualification.
yeah unfortunately they will never attract first class chessplayers or boxers. just strange people who are mediocre at both. the guy in red trunks is atrocious.
It's a big joke... Look at how they box, they look stupid... No sting on their punches... I think it's just another way of publicity for chess player coz' their sport is really that boring to watch so they have to do this to put a little entertainment in it... Boxing fans will be disappointed coz' knockouts and blodd are uncommon... My opinion!!!
How few? I don't remember the exact time limitation, but I believe you are obliged to move like every 15 seconds. If you both move exactly this time interval, you make 8 moves in the first round. That makes 24 moves in 3 chess rounds - enough for a GM to checkmate you.

No, that's not how chess clocks work.
You have a bank of time for the whole game, and if you run out of time before your opponent does, you lose.
So yes, against kasparov, you could just make one move every minute and go into the first boxing round.

So far most fights were decided on chessboard.
