1 - Iepe Rubingh. The pic is something he did in Japan for which he got arrested. He is a Dutch performance artist whose oeuvre includes blocking off intersections in Berlin and Tokyo to create major traffic congestion. He created chess boxing.
2 - Froid Equateur - is a science fiction comic book from 1992 written and illustrated by the Yugoslavian born cartoonist and storyteller Enki Bilal. Extensively features chess boxing.

4 - Ninja Checkmate is blanked out. This 1979 movie had the international title "Mystery of chess boxing" though it does not actually involve chessboxing.
5 - Wladimir Klitschko who also competes in this sport.
