Kellie Maloney reveals she’s had a full sex change as she talks about her new life as a woman

KELLIE Maloney has revealed she is a “fully-fledged female” after undergoing her final gender reassignment surgery.

The 64-year-old former boxing promoter first announced she wished to be known as Kellie in August 2014.

Since then, she has undergone a number of surgeries but told she had had her final operation.

She said with a laugh: “I’m a fully-fledged female now. I had it cut off and replaced.”

Kellie had lived for more than 50 years as Frank, managing boxer Lennox Lewis to the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World.

Kellie wrestled with her identity throughout her career and two marriages, with the pressure of living as a man resulting in three attempts to take her own life as a “cry for help”.

She recalled: “In 2010 I was becoming withdrawn and drinking a lot.”

Her second wife, Tracy, blamed herself for how her husband was acting, and asked if he was having an affair or if he was gay.

Kellie added: “I said no to both and looked at her and said ‘I’m the same as you; I always believed I should have been a female’.

“I regretted saying it initially because I knew our marriage would be over.

“I also realised then that there wasn’t any going back.”

Thankfully she has been able to remain close to Tracy and her three daughters, who are aged between 17 and 40.

After some dark days, Kellie finally feels positive about the future.

She said: “Now I’m very relaxed, happy and open about my life.”
