"...The dangers of a man fighting a woman will never happen because of what we are going to put in place." -WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman

However, those competitions will be restricted by the athlete's actual sex, effectively creating another competition category for men, limited to those who struggle with gender confusion, and for women who struggle with gender confusion.

"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," President Mauricio Sulaiman told The Telegraph. "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."

Sulaiman reiterated in a December 29 tweet that men will never be able to compete against women. He wrote it in response to female boxer Claressa Shields tweeting at him that "[a] man, who is now identified as a woman, transgender, is allowed to fight against me?"

"@WBCBoxing rejects and bans any boxing involving a born man vs a born woman. A transgender program is being developed as a form of inclusion but never man vs woman," Sulaiman wrote.
