Transgender Male Boxer Goes 3-0 Against Male Opponents
A transgender boxer remains undefeated after winning the third victory of his professional career. Patricio Manuel, 37, is the first out transgender boxer in the United States to have competed and won at the professional level. Manuel, who medically transitioned in 2013, has an undefeated 3-0 record since boxing against men in 2018. The athlete nicknamed “Cacahuate,” the Spanish word for “peanut,” won the four-round match against Alexander Gutierrez in Indio, California, on June 8 with a unanimous decision from the judges.
