Kellie Maloney (formerly Frank Maloney; born 23 January 1953[1][2][3]) is an English boxing manager and promoter, and television personality. Maloney managed Lennox Lewis, who won the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world, between 1989 and 2001. This made Maloney the first Briton to manage a British heavyweight champion in almost a century.[4]

In August 2014, Maloney announced that she wished to be known as Kellie, and was undertaking gender reassignment.[5] Maloney later appeared in the fourteenth series of Celebrity Big Brother in August 2014. She has been described as one of the most well-known transgender people in Britain.[6]
