By Daily Mail Reporter A woman who scaled the heights of the male-dominated boxing profession before quitting in the face of derision over controversial calls in two world championship bouts has denied taking bribes in exchange for making ‘unpopular decisions’. Thrice-divorced, 65-year-old grandmother Cynthia Jo ‘CJ’ Ross spent more than 30 years working as a boxing judge before walking away from the sport she loved late last year. She is currently living alone in the Nevada desert after her fiancé died and is trying to rebuild her life. During her impressive career she worked her way up through the ranks from officiating amateur boxing program to world championship bouts in Las Vegas.
