We have been a leader in the rules of women’s boxing, so there will never be a risk of a man vs. woman fight because of what we introduce.

We are creating a set of rules and structures for transgender boxing to exist because they deserve it if they want to box. We don’t know the numbers that will be there yet, but we are opening universal registration in 2023 so we can get an idea of ​​what kind of boxers will be there. Let’s start here,” Suleiman said.
