What if she took part in a mixed (man and woman) boxing competition, and do they even exist?


We all know what happened at the end, sad indeed as it was, but say if she took part in a mixed boxing competition, would a tragedy of that sort happen sooner, also, do mixed boxing competitions exist, and if yes, do women EVER win fights in them by defeating men?

We know that sometimes in sports like tennis there are mixed competitions as well as mixed doubles and whatnot, and sometimes women win in them, but about about in the world of boxing?

And also, woud the girls family disapprove of that even MORE than what they did in here?

What do you think, thanks.

Is that a joke? The best female boxer in the world wouldn't stand a chance against any ranked professional or amateur adult male boxer.

Another joke? The best professional female tennis players in the world would get smoked by good male college players. In fact, they commonly practice against male college players to improve their game. Steffi Graf, one of the greatest female tennis players of all time, admittedly couldn't beat her brother Michael when she was in her prime, who was a nobody in the world of men's tennis.

Well, its not as bad with tennis, there were matches where top female players won against ranked (but not near the top) male players. but yes, when it comes to boxing, the additional 60% muscle mass alone is a huge factor. There is a trans boxes who transition from man to woman and is boxing as a woman. He cannot find a match because no boxer wants to go against him. According to one such interview its like trying to fight a locomotive, it just pummels you down.
