UFC star Colby Covington rips USA Boxing's trans inclusion policy: 'This is disgusting'
UFC star Colby Covington appears on OutKick's "Tomi Lahren is Fearless" and ripped USA Boxing's trans inclusion policy.
UFC star Colby Covington ripped USA Boxing’s decision to allow transgender female fighters to compete against biological women in the ring if they meet certain benchmarks.
Covington made his remarks Thursday on OutKick’s "Tomi Lahren is Fearless."
"My first reaction is that I think it’s a PR stunt. I think they’re just doing this because no one cares about USA Boxing anymore," Covington said.
"Nobody’s talking about USA Boxing, so they have to do something to get some publicity because anybody in the right mind thinking that this is a ‘good idea’ needs to seek help immediately. This is disgusting.

"Biological men should have no place in women’s sports. I mean, I can’t imagine being a woman my whole life and having a fair playing field, competing against other women, and then, all of a sudden, they just say, ‘Hey, we’re gonna let biological men come compete in our sports.’ It’s unethical, it’s dangerous and I don’t want to see anybody get killed.
"We need to reverse this, and we need to hold the line and not let this happen."
