Former Boxing Promoter Frank Maloney Now Living as 'Kellie Maloney'

How do you go from "Frank" to "Kelly"? I can see "Francine," but "Kellie"?

No rhyme nor reason, I guess.

At Telegraph UK, "Former boxing promoter Frank Maloney reveals he is 'proud to be British' after receiving messages of support for decision to become Kellie Maloney under gender reassignment."

Sounds like "Kellie" needs some additional hormone therapy to be rid of that deep male-sounding voice. That's kind of a buzz-killer, you know?

Frank Maloney, the former boxing promoter who guided Lennox Lewis to the world heavyweight title, has come out as a woman named Kellie.

In a open interview, the 61 year old said that coming out was a question of weighing up what she would gain against what she would lose.

"I think you have to be honest ot the people who are closest to you and the people you love. And you may risk losing those people but you can also risk losing them and destroying the relationship if you bottle it up like I did for a long time."

Speaking of the outcome of her sex change, Maloney said: "I hope I have given people the courage to stand up and face their troubles."

Maloney, a former Ukip candidate who is twice married and has three daughters, said she had been living as a female for more than a year.

"I do believe if you come out and you're honest about it you'll get the help and support you need."
