Stakes of the match are pretty high. If Theo wins Gus pays him $35k, the other way around Gus receives $25k. Gus Hansen is considered as an early favorite in this match. He is younger and in better shape, but some people say that he hasn’t trained boxing that much.

Jorgensen on the other hand has been training boxing regularly for about a year or so, like you can see in this video from the Danish newspaper website. Too bad it is in Danish, so it is hard to tell what they are talking about, but anybody can tell that Theo is training boxing.

Theo and Gus are going against each other!

Gus Hansen also tried to lure Finnish poker star Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies to box in the same event. This conversation happened at Full Tilt Poker:
