Frank Maloney has been undergoing sex change in the past 2 years, and with this, he has secretly undergone hormone therapy, hair removal and voice coaching. He now lives as a woman called Kellie. Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Kellie said: “I was born in the wrong body and have always known I was a woman. I can’t keep living in the shadows, that is why I am doing what I am today. Living with the burden any longer would have killed me.
“I made the decision a long time ago but I retired from boxing because of my profile. I thought that what I wanted to do was to transition in a positive and private way. I closed my websites down, took my Facebook down and my Twitter account so that I could transition peacefully.
The suicide rates from the pressure on a transsexual woman are very high and I didn’t want to get caught up in it. I hope society will be open minded. I know I could have done my job in boxing as a female.” Frank Maloney, whose achievements include overseeing Lennox Lewis’s world heavyweight title victory in 1993, retired from boxing in October 2013. He now works with the transgender organisation TG Pals.
