Alejandra Jiménez Ayala (born 29 August 1987) is a Mexican
Jiménez took up boxing at the age of 23 in order to lose weight and went on to become a world champion less than four years later. Before turning pro Jiménez won ten amateur bouts, half of them coming against male boxers.[2] Jiménez is the former WBC female heavyweight champion and the second Mexican born boxer to hold a world heavyweight title, first being Martha Salazar who Jiménez won the title from.[3]
In December 2022, Jiménez abruptly retired from professional boxing amid allegations that she was born male. In response to the allegations, Jiménez stated that she has hypothyroidism.[4]
