Chess Boxing?  When did they come up with that name? Somebody must have came across the Vote Chess game that had that name and they liked it.

I think chess.com does not like these kind of things but Good Luck!

Maybe if you put it in a group but ask the SA of the group first then Chess.com would allow it.
