Former boxing promoter Frank Maloney has revealed he is undergoing gender reassignment and now lives as a woman called Kellie. In an interview in the Mirror, Kellie says: "I was born in the wrong body and I have always known I was a woman." She is working with transgender group TG Pals, whose managing director, Heather Ashton, told the BBC Kellie had been "incredibly brave and courageous". As Frank, Maloney guided Lennox Lewis to the world heavyweight title in 1993. In her interview, Kellie says: "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. "What was wrong at birth is now being medically corrected. I have a female brain. I knew I was different from the minute I could compare myself to other children. "I wasn't in the right body. I was jealous of girls. I am now going the the consultation process with TG Pals to have my cheb chopped off. " Lennox Lewis said he was initially shocked at the news, but respected his former promoter's decision. "This world we live in isn't always cut and dried or black and white, and coming from the boxing fraternity, I can only imagine what a difficult decision this must be for Kellie. "However, having taken some time to read Kellie's statements, I understand better what she, and others in similar situations, are going through. I think that all people should be allowed to live their lives in a way that brings them harmony and inner peace. "I respect Kellie's decision and say that if this is what brings about true happiness in her life, than so be it." 'Hugely difficult' Ms Ashton said it had been a "huge decision" for Kellie to come out. "This is a big deal for any transgender person but particularly for Kellie who's been in the public eye for such a long time. "This group of people are the last societal group to achieve equality and to be socially accepted." Ms Ashton told BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast it could be "hugely difficult" for people to tell their partners, families and colleagues, "to come out and say I do love you, this is who I am, and please accept me". She said she hoped Kellie's example would encourage others contemplating gender reassignment to overcome their fear. Boxing journalist Steve Bunce tweeted: "Frank Maloney is possibly the bravest person in boxing. How can anybody give him stick? You've got to have balls to do this kind of thing, or rather get rid of them in Kellie's case. You have to just smile and say: "Go on girl!""
If he's happy then good on him. It's a shame that in sports that people can't be open about their sexuality. It's amazing that fans can go to Brighton and sing 'does your boyfriend know your here?' and get away with it.
Don't be fooled by this daft owld **** dressed as a bird. Gay Conservatives have called on the UK Independence Party to sack their London mayoral candidate over his "homophobic" comments.Frank Maloney said he would not be campaigning in the borough of Camden because there are "too many gays".

6% of the male population in the UK has homosexual tenancies. So at the first home game of the season this will be about about 2,400 fans. (not including those who cross dress) 4.8% of the general north east population are non white (probably less for Sunderland Supporters)... but you deem 'dressed as a bird' not to be offensive but probably pickeninny or golliwog as. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8lUe59EP84 this footballer died because of his sexuality... maybe take time to watch it.
I know mate, it's just a daft bit jest. It's his life he can please himself what he does with it. If you want to get stuck in there I won't stand in your way ya nar, honest.
I don't need to know anymore about cross dressers, trans sexuals, ladyboys etc. I live in a country full of them. Even build a rather spectacular house for one of them, and it's yank boyfriend. Devious fookers they are.
