However, it seems like she will have to get in the ring herself after getting blasted by another transgender artist, Brayd Bunch. Jenner was recently challenged by Bunch during the face-off event for the Fake Drake celebrity boxing match. Bunch will take on Mike Mazza in October and wants to take on Jenner next. The recording artist left no stone unturned in disrespecting the former Olympian.

She called her an oldie and stated that Jenner’s Olympic accomplishments won’t save her in the ring. Moreover, she claimed that this was a great opportunity to “shut her up,” and thinks she can beat Jenner in the ring.

Caitlyn Jenner backs transgender golfer

The former Olympian recently showed her support to a 29-year-old transgender golfer, Hailey Davidson. The golfer underwent gender reassignment surgery last year and has been trying to get her LPGA Tour card this summer. But she is yet to find any success. Moreover, this has drawn criticism towards her, with claims that her inclusion will be unfair to women in the sport.

However, Jenner fired back at those critics in an interview with FoxNews. She backed Davidson and pointed out the differences between her inclusion and that of Lia Thomas. Thomas recently gained notoriety for becoming the first transgender swimmer to win a major US college title. “Every sport is different. Golf is a totally different game. It is a game of touch and feels. It is about your ability around the green..” she said.
