No it is not new rule. You have no proof of past champions having Y chromosomes so that is just a guess, nothing more. It is not a change to any rule, in the past when uncovered it was stopped. Science is just getting better at catching them is all. I am not the one wanting a change you are.

The rules have never mentioned Y chromosomes before, and they still don't.  You want that change, fine, but don't call for a change and then act like you're the one wanting things to stay the same.

Not for nothing, we don't know if these two boxers have y chromosomes or not. Do we? If they don't have y chromosomes, you would be fine with them continuing to compete?
