USA Boxing announced that it will begin accepting transgender athletes to the sport.
According to a new ‘Transgender Policy‘ written in August 2022 and to be officially implemented on January 1, 2024, transgender boxers will undergo consistent testing and be required to meet a series of conditions to become and remain eligible. In one example, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman must have undergone gender reassignment surgery and have a testosterone reading of fewer than five nanomoles per liter for two years prior and through competitions.
Conversely, a biological woman who identifies as a transgender man must also be post-op and have a testosterone level of higher than ten nmol/L for two years prior and through competitions.
