Former boxer Christy Martin explains how USA Boxing’s new transgender rules could lead to physical ramifications and stunt the growth of women’s boxing.
A former female boxer sounded the alarm about USA Boxing's decision to allow trans women to compete against women. USA Boxing is the latest sports organization to make allowances for transgender competitors to compete in the gendered divisions they identify with.
After the regulations were first drafted in August 2022, the policy went officially into effect January 1, 2024. "I can't believe that USA boxing would allow transgender [individuals] to compete.
I mean, basically, you're letting a man fight a woman," Christy Martin, one of the most prominent former female boxers to compete, told Fox News Digital.
