There have been many reality tv shows over the years that have had women competing against men, either "indirectly" to accomplish the same task or more directly against each other in a fight. I'm not 100% sure what show it was, might have been one of the SAS ones, but one part had a woman competitor spar with a man.

She took something like 1 hit from the guy and the match was halted, by another guy refereeing, because she was going to get wrecked otherwise. Pretty sure the guy she was fighting was still holding his punches too, more so than expected for "just a sparring match".
