The title of the article is "Could chessboxing defuse aggression..?". The content appears to be: it's possible to train yourself to deal with stress better. Chessboxing is a thing that makes you deal with stress, so it should help you deal with stress better.

There is no actual evidence that chessboxing helps train automatic emotional regulation, just speculation that, according to the theories cited, it should.
