Beginning this year, USA Boxing will allow men who identify as women to take part in women’s sports, a move that has drawn outrage for being unfair to female boxers.

The new rules, applicable to boxers over the age of 18, were formulated in 2022 and came into effect on Jan. 1, 2024. According to updated regulations, USA Boxing will now allow a male boxer to compete in the women’s category provided that certain conditions are met.
