Newbiggin, who has boxed as a male for two decades, now wants to continue pursuing his boxing career but in the women's division.

Newbiggin claims he was born "with high levels of estrogen" that obscure his gender identity, despite outwardly appearing to be a man.

In this sport where strength means a lot. Would be fair if this person who its transitioning from male to female participated in the female division?

Well, first the body its already male, with all the perks on strength and build that comes with it. But then in the other side HRT will lessen that to certain degree.

I dont think it will be fair but then again I know nothing about boxing.
