Mercedes Newbiggin, who boasts a 20-year career as a professional boxer in the United States and the UK, will fight for the last time as Rob Newbiggin on August 14. After that bout, Newbiggin will begin a transition from male to female.

Newbiggin has requested that her new name, Mercedes, be used for this article. Mercedes was born with an intersex condition that causes high levels of estrogen in the blood, although her physical appearance was that of a male.
