In boxing would a man who becomes a Trangender be allowed to box woman?

What do you think a man of Fallon Fox's weight (aka 145lbs) would do to Smith if they had fought? I don't think she'd just be commenting about the guy's striking ability, she would likely get completely annihilated.
I can't say I know it would be completely even though I have to think more in depth about the physical changes that take place and whether they can adjust enough to make fighting competitive.
I don't know if the playing field is completely even or not, and I'm not going to pretend to know either. I do think these Organizations need to look deep into it and put out a statement backing their decisions.

Ive heard of a guy in Taiwan that cut of his meat to make weight. It was a rival fight vs a guy he grew up with.
Rumor has it, the fighter was packing 7 inches soft wrist thick. Cut it off to lose two pounds an hour before the weigh in.
Long story short .he won by tko in rd 4
