I was just speaking with my stylist the other day (he's a straight and masculine Black male)about this. I was saying that female boxing just doesn't strike me as very feminine and out of purpose. Its the "buffness", bloodiness, and high level of perspiration that I see amongst women boxers that looks unfeminine. My stylist was saying that nothing about these masculine looking women is attractive to him in the slightest. He said that he and most men are attracted to a feminine woman.
The boxers probably don't have a care in the world for feminity when they're in the ring as it's a sport for them. I applaud them on their efforts, but I would prefer not to see women looking like men. But then, I also don't watch the WNBA for the same reason.
I support the crossing gender efforts, but because of the unfeminine nature of the undertakings, I am not a spectator. I like looking at manly men being manly playing basketball, football, boxing, etc.
