I personally hate the whole concept of boxing; but I accept that a lot of people enjoy participating and watching it. However, it's precisely because it has such potential to cause great physical damage that this is mitigated by strictly matching contestants fairly.

Can you imagine what your managers' reaction would be to a proposed fight between Anthony Joshua and Amir Khan? Just two blokes who are pro boxers, eh, so what's the harm? Except people would be rightly horrified at the obvious gross unfairness of it.... and I'm sure Anthony would never countenance accepting the bout, as what would it actually prove about his own abilities and sportsmanship? What would he actually have 'won'?

So why is it that people are cheerleading horrendously unfair matches in this way? And added to the obvious unfairness, you have to add in the gaslighting and coercion - as in normal boxing, you would never get a heavyweight trying to claim that he was a lightweight, albeit just a lightweight who happens to have a suspiciously large body.

If Fox wants to be a professional boxer, that's absolutely fine; but if Fox has any sense of sporting honour whatsoever, only fair bouts with people of an equivalent weight AND equivalent physical makeup (i.e. also male) would ever be remotely considered.
