In an interview with The Telegraph, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman revealed that plans are in the works to address the issue of transgender fighters in boxing.
“We are going to put out a global call for those who are interested in 2023 and we will set up the protocols, start consultation and most likely create a league and a tournament,” Sulaiman is quoted as saying. “It is the time to do this, and we are doing this because of safety and inclusion. We have been the leaders in rules for women’s boxing – so the dangers of a man fighting a woman will never happen because of what we are going to put in place.
“In boxing, a man fighting a woman must never be accepted regardless of gender change. There should be no grey area around this, and we want to go into it with transparency and the correct decisions. Woman to man or man to woman transgender change will never be allowed to fight a different gender by birth.
“We are creating a set of rules and structures so that transgender boxing can take place, as they fully deserve to if they want to box. We do not yet know the numbers that there are out there, but we’re opening a universal registration in 2023, so that we can understand the boxers that are out there – and we’ll start from there.”
Pretty soon there will be something going around calling itself the interim trans bridgerweight champion of the world.
F out of here with that sh*t. Transgenders have nothing wrong with them physically, its a mental health illness. If your blood test/dna test shows a ‘Y’ chromosome you are male, end of story.
Its drugs that cause this crap.
Always an honor to get L’s Word on this subject. The L Word.
Arrogance, narcissism, belligerence. Telling people an absolutely preposterous lie and expecting them to believe you, and demanding them to believe you. Violating people’s right to believe the truth, and forcing them to capitulate. Promoting mutilating genitalia.
To steal a quote from somebody in the YouTube comments, “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, all other genders are from Uranus”.
This is disgusting on so many levels. May God Almighty The One and Only True Creator of The Universe help us all…
I agree completely. Even boxing can’t escape sickness and liberalism.
Amen.
I’m 50, wish I was 90 so I could be dead and never had to read this shit.
Right……………..
Leave it up to the Cartel Boss to come up with this. How about he just keeps his greedy little paws to himself. Hack.
At first it’s seems like a bad woke idea but it actually protects men and women boxers. The trans boxers can beat the #### out of each other in their own division.
Trans World Sport…. Very different mean now
This is a serious article? …hilarious!
Sulaiman they’re coming for you…you’ve just been cancelled.
Make it stop!
Why not? The worst that can happen is that it fails. No big deal. It’s worth a try I think. Try it and see what happens.
No. WE, are not TRYING anything. They can make up their own sport or league and leave our space alone. At this point it’s deliberate and nothing else. It’s a political stunt with malicious intent to disrupt all aspects of daily life. Simply put: They have a right to be, not a right to F with me.
Interesting.
Is not people’s foundation in reality more solidly than that their worldview actually starts to swing over this little insignificant suggestion. It’s like a fart in space. It is nothing.
I have a hard time believing that there are so many transgenders that like boxing that it is possible to create belts that are meaningful. Am I wrong?
I think more that there may be an interest in individual fights, every now and then, possibly a card sometime with only transgender fighters. So what?
Isn’t it like sparklers? It is burning for a short while. Then it goes out and that’s it.
Let WBC try. I am totally convinced that it is primarily about business and profit and not “A Political Stunt with Malicious Intent to Disrupt All Aspects of Daily Life”.
Take a deep breath and don`t worry. Life goes on.
They will force major events to sponsor them and put them on the undercards. They will become a huge financial burden.
You.Have.Got.To.Be.Kidding.Me. This foolishness has got to stop. God created man. God created woman. Jesus died on the cross to save all who believe in Him. That’s it. The end of the story. I am very ashamed of and disappointed in the WBC. Ridiculous.
Truth! God already decided their gender, anything beyond that is pure evil.
The WBC IS TRASH!!!
I’d much rather watch two transgenders figting each other compared to another boring fight with no thrill between Mayweather vs Youtuber-with-many-followers.
New belts , more sanctioning fees , more business , more propaganda . Don’t want to believe boxing has come to this .
Which comes first? Mayweather vs. transgender in an exhibition or Jake Paul vs. transgender in real fight? The circusization of boxing continues.
WT…I have no additional comment(s).
lol, who will you watch that?
haha..the death of sport…stupid people who are insane doing this. Cocks out or no fight. Comission weiner checkers. Vagina probers…”yes it is a pussy”…dear gawd
“right in the pussy”
I hate this world we are living in. A meteor the size of Texas can’t come soon enough. Humanity needs to be wiped out.
Sure, why not. Could give some promoters and non-promoters something to promote.
This is nothing more than a publicity stunt. While there is the need for something to be done before a boxer gets injured this is not it. How many transgender pro boxers are there? I don’t see how that number can justify an entire division let alone weight classes. I could be wrong, but is there enough to even have two fighters per weight class? I think most of us will agree its unfair for a male born boxer to transition and face a female born boxer. There are some exceptions, but for the most part the male born boxer has a strong advantage. boxers who are born female and transition into male boxing don’t really make headlines, but I can see how they would have anything other than a disadvantage.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Alejandra Jimenez, who fought Franchon Crews Dezurn, is clearly a trans, and not a born woman. Every win on HIS record should be changed. This should NEVER be allowed.
Thank You, WBC.
There needs to be 4 gender categories.
Men, Women, Men who think they are women, and Women who think they are men.
If necessary we can add 2 others for Non-transitioned Gay Men & Non-transitioned Lesbians.
Makes sense to me. Keep it fair.
Isn’t this going to piss off these mentally ill faggots even more?? They identify as women…. When you put them in their own category it’ll still be men Vs men only they’ll look like freak show degenerates. They’re going to be pissed off because in their feeble little minds they truly believe they are women.
It would be a mess for sure. I can’t imagine the referee checking the contestant to confirm if they are girl or boy and also the way they would dress to fight, very intriguing
Disgusting world we live in. WBC is not only corrupt and greedy but now they are the biggest joke in boxing. What’s next the WBC Tranny Welterweight champion of the world who will pay yet another ridiculous sanctioning fee all in the name of American Greed.
Sulaimán is a glutton for laughter. Maurício, if you have not noticed yet, here it is: Go woke, go broke. IF this happens to go through, it will be short lived, with no public recognition.
However, on the positive side, we won’t be allowing men to fight women on the normal pro levels.
Boxing is a sport where just about anyone with skill and determination can make something of themselves. We escape the world and connect to our own. We leave the insanity of our daily lives and enjoy competition at it’s primitive form while appreciating the art form. To introduce part of what we escape into our own little world come fight night is a damn shame.
Can we just enjoy our sport without the wokeness? We already have our hands full between judged, promoters and sanctioning bodies.
Jose Suleiman would be rolling in his grave. Apparently the WBC isnt happy until its completely disgraced and discredited itself. The WBA bans Russian fighters and now the WBC wants to “woke” to me, i think the crowd consensus whose the lineal champion will be the only legit metric, thats how it was always done, the belts are trash
Now there is a man with some common sense, something obviously lacking with the WBC
Jose would have loved adding more of these divisions.
*wants to go woke.
Boy, this is getting confusing. I can’t keep up with all the different sex categories.
It’s simple. At bridgerweight for example, we could have the WBC bridgerweight world champion, WBC women’s bridgerweight world champion, the WBC man-to-woman bridgerweight world champion, and the WBC woman-to-man bridgerweight world champion.
You can hear the ring of the cash register bell every time a sanctioning fee changes hands.
There are only two genders the rest are mental disorders, the sports world needs to put a stop to catering to this absurd nonsense.
JC,What next!
There is no such thing as transgender as there are only male and female, why on earth does the WBC want to encourage this perverted moral depravity and self delusional mental disorder? What’s next a boxing division for those who self identify as some species of animal or as a small child. WBC, don’t encourage or participate in this madness.
“Safety and inclusion” = Even More Sanctioning Fees to Collect…. Merry Christmas!!!!
Perhaps this Suliaman is telling us some, that he is a drag queen in disguise. And the WBC really stand for World,Bitches,and Cunts.And watch how quickly the drag queen Suliaman deletes
this post.F the Suliaman FAG QUEEN!!!!
Boxing has gone to shit used to be a big an not anymore
First of all, the WBC, nor any other sanctioning body, do not make rules like this in the USA. It is up to each State Athletic Commission to decide how this transgender athlete competition will be handled, no one else. That is why a promoter pays for a license, to have the Commission make these decisions, not a sanctioning body
It sounds like the WBC is trying to drum up interest in the transgender community where there already isn’t any. How these companies don’t learn from go woke, go broke is beyond me. Of course all they have to do is have two willing contestants to have a bout, and they have a new belt they can collect a sanctioning fee on, so…
I’m very impressed that boxing fans have the best morality in this world. I knew there was a great reason why boxing has been my favorite sport for the last 25 years and I have Always gotten along with every boxing fan. It’s seems like we are one of the few fans that have not been twisted by this new mental disease. I thank God for ALL of YOU!!!!
More money to the W.B.C. is their nothing they won’t do for the dollar.
Basketball has a trans league called the wnba and now boxing is following suit. Sick world we live in. The masses will be buying this freak show on ppv like they do with jake Paul. Boxing is 5 rungs beneath the circus
Is there trans women in wnba?
What a giant joke. All you are really creating is a separate division of men and women champions. The fact that he states a man by birth must never fight a woman and a woman by birth must never fight a man is to completely disregard the idea of transgender in the first place. This doesn’t increase equality and it doesn’t even recognize the “new” gender these people wanna pretend that they are. What the hell is the point if it’s just gonna be men in panties fighting other men in panties? Or women with buzz cuts fighting other women with buzz cuts? It’s still just men fighting men and women fighting women, and we already have male and female boxing. I’m not being transgender phobic I’m just calling ridiculousness what it is. Period.
Read the other comments on here, nobody’s going to call you a transphobe bud. You are in like-minded company.
Yes, it will still be men fighting men, and women fighting women, and that is the way it should be. It will be hilarious. Why not let them bash one another’s brains in. Hopefully they won’t turn into porn sessions.
Men are born men. Women are born women. If you do this, expect a serious boycott and hopefully champions with wbc belt vacate quickly.
WBC you are a disgrace!!! No one wants to see that garbage!!! The boxing association has to stop this.
Except that way, it keeps them separated, and forces their hand. They won’t like it, because it maintains that they have NOT changed their gender. They want to distort the truth, and force themselves on everyone.
We shall see if anybody cares to watch them. Let’s see them get their own fans. They will force the corporations to support them. They will force the media to promote them. All that effort and money spent on them will go to waste and they will be more of a burden on people than they already are.
1000 years from this day when argeologists digs our bodies from the ground they find only man and female corpses.
And imbeciles with mutilated genitalia
I knew this shit was coming. You just know some trans mafia group will be looking to infiltrate boxing. The real abomination will be a network (looking at you Showtime) that’ll say screw science and broadcast a trans bout.
What a circus this is becoming !! Tired of the WBC ! What a bunch of crooks, they don’t care about boxing just sanctionning fees !
What will the WBC do when there is a prominent heavyweight, weighing in at around 250 pounds, says he “identifies as a welterweight”? Will the WBC then allow him to fight for the welterweight championship of the world?!
How about a little person belt. Would give a chance for little people to earn good money.
From what I gather, a lot of you on here are the type to incessantly bitch and moan about trans guys in women’s sports. Now that someone wants to create a place for these people to compete amongst themselves, you continue to bitch? You mfs need to mind your own fuck-holes, in your backwards-thinking little bubbles.
I’m not going to say anything with respect to transgender people, because I’m willing to claim ignorance on the subject as a whole. But…
Is the WBC so hard up for their 3% sanctioning fees that they feel a need to create an entire, third slate of World, Silver, and whatever bullshit titles they can concoct?
I love watching a trans woman fight a woman in mma. It ok with boxing I think. But a trans man fighting a man. I don’t think a trans man will step up the plate for that.
That means males are only permitted to fight males, and females are only permitted to fight females. In the genderjerks league mutilated males can fight mutilated males, mutilated females can fight mutilated females.
I’ve been saying this for a few years already. They must create their own league and get their own fans. All other sports as well. Let’s see if anybody cares to watch them. They must garner their own fans and income, and not hijack the sports. Not be permitted to abuse other people by forcing their demented perversion. A man thinks he is not a man, well we know he is not a woman, so he cannot force his will and oppress others. There is already a female league and a male league, you cannot pick and choose.
It would be ok if all fights were to the death. And then the winner had to fight a tiger right after.
I can’t believe that this……shame on you WBC this is absolutely disgusting
