Full Tilt Poker player Gus Hansen may have a better poker CV than Theo Jorgensen but when it comes to boxing Jorgensen proved to be the better side. It all started when Gus Hansen proposed a bet that Theo could not turn down. He challanged Theo to a boxing match where he would get $35 000 from Gus if he won but if he lost on the other hand he would have to give $25 000 to Gus. Seing that all the bookmakers online made Jorgensen the favourite to win this match you have to be happy for Gus that he did not decide to become a bookmaker.

After 3 rounds in the boxing ring it had to be decided by the judges who would win. And when it was all said and done it was Theo Jorgensen who won by points in this game and could take down the nice prize of $35 000 from Gus Hansen.

This boxing match was mainly a ploy to promote the launch of Hansen’s new website GusHansenTV.com but there are rumours circulating the internet that there might be other poker players who would be interested in fighting other poker players in prop bet matches.

What do you do if you are a high stakes poker player with nothing to do one day? Easy! You challenge your friend to a high stakes boxing match in order to promote the launch of your new website.

This is what Danish poker professional Gus Hansen decided to do when he challenged his Danish friend Theo Jorgensen to a boxing match with $60 000 at stake.

These are the rules that the to competitors have lined up:

If Gus Hansen wins he will get $25 000 from Jorgensen.

If Theo Jorgensen wins he will receive $35 000 from Gus Hansen.

As you can see it looks like Gus Hansen should be the favourite in this match but according to all the betting companies it is Theo Jorgensen that is the favourite to win the match. The reason why Gus Hansen decided to make the stakes this way is probably due to the fact that he stands to gain a lot more from this game than Theo as he is using this match to promote the launch of his new website.

It is also rumoured that Ziimund will go up in the ring against another poker player but that match has yet to be determined.
