    Transgender Boxer Becomes Face of Everlast

    34 year old transgender boxer Patricio Manuel has become the face of the brand, according to Everlast. Manuel began competing as a female in the early 2000's, winning 5 national championships before sustaining a shoulder injury.

    Last December, Patricio became the first transgender boxer to compete professionally, a fight which Manuel won.

    On Dec. 12, 2018, Patricio Manuel made history, becoming the first transgender boxer to have a professional fight. On Sept. 26, he made history again when he was named the face of the iconic boxing brand Everlast. But the road to getting there wasn't easy, and Manuel had to risk everything he knew in order to achieve his dream of competing as a male boxer.

          At least it's not the usual transgender story of a man turning into a woman because he couldn't compete against other men and absolutely trashing the competition, even though part of it is funny.

            F.ucking joke

            I get it Everlast gets props for embracing this sh.it and everyone’s equal but come on

            The Bit.ch / Dude is just getting used a PR gimmick

            I’m all for everyone having equal rights and let them live their life free of of discrimination and if you want to change your Sex , cool do your thing , But let’s not pretend like it’s a cool thing and You’re a POS if you don’t give it a co-sign like what’s happening now ,

            you got a bunch of Bruce Jenner’s thinking it’s Ok and should be celebrated to be a Chick with a D.ick or a Man with some Ti.ts ,

            I doubt that getting / removing a d.ick treats the real issue of that person hating themselves and being uncomfortable in their own skin

                damn, just bought a pair of Everlast gloves for my kid ... would have picked a different brand if I'd have known this

                Of course it fought a "professional" loser to get a win. The opponent was 0-5 at the time, and is now 0-8.
