I believe Ice-fishing, swimming, and chess might make a good combo.

Are you joking me? Chess doesn't combine with boxing at all, except in an ironic way. 

No way in hell are chess and boxing compataible or can such a combination ever be taken seriously in a competitive context, it's intended as a joke. Get a grip.

Intimidation my great fighters is one way that it connects.

Brains and Brawn is the the idea behind chess and boxing. I think the event no longer takes place. Had a run for a couple of years.Table Tennis is popular, using the same rating system as chess.

Fishing is the best one ive seen. But chess does also make the perfect drinking game.

How about fencing?  As in chess, you would have to look for an opening while avoiding giving your opponent an opening.

Sheep herding. Tending to the flock is a good counter-balance to playing chess.
