Ebanie Bridges, former IBF bantamweight world champion, said it bluntly: she will never step into the ring against a transgender boxer.
And to explain it, she used an image that leaves no one indifferent: she compared the situation to “Mike Tyson becoming a woman”.
The Australian boxer clarifies that she has nothing against trans people, but insists that biological sex should define sports categories.
All this while the World Boxing Council considers creating a specific category for trans athletes.
Some say Bridges is defending women’s safety and fairness in the ring. Others accuse her of discriminating and shutting the door on inclusion.
Is she right to set limits, or is she being unfair? 🥊
