The former world professional boxing champion ended her career after it was revealed she was born a man. The case of the undefeated Alejandra Jimenez (12-0-1, 9 KOs) is very controversial. The Mexican, who weighed 107 kilograms in the early stages of her career, became the WBC and WBO world champion in the super middleweight category (up to 76.2 kg) in January 2020, defeating Franchon Cruce Dezurn. However, a few weeks later it turned out that she was "on cocaine" during the fight. The result of the fight was annulled, and the American remained the champion.

“I have sparred with men in the past and I knew from the beginning that something was wrong. Women don't hit like that. She could have killed me with illegal substances,” Franchon Cruce Dezurn said in March.

In turn, Carlette Ewell, whom Jimenez knocked out in the first round in April 2017, revealed the secret of her rival and said that she was born a man. After these revelations, Jimenez decided not to return to boxing anymore and ended her career. For some time she was the world heavyweight and super middleweight champion.
