\\u201cI\\u2019m extremely scared for the safety of our girls and our women in boxing,\\u201d she told \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast.\\u201d 


The new policy requires males to meet specific hormone levels and to have undergone surgery to \\u201calter\\u201d their gender. But Williams says the new policy does not acknowledge that men have \\u201clarger hearts, larger lungs, bone density, strength.\\u201d


\\u201cYou\\u2019re talking about muscle-fiber differences. Those are all something we\\u2019re born with,\\u201d she says. 


Williams, the founder of women\\u2019s fight-gear brand Tussle, joins the show to discuss USA Boxing\\u2019s rule change and what she thinks female boxers should do to stand up against the dangerous policy.
