Human sperm does have chromosomes, in fact it has 23 of them, but they are not paired.

The human sperm is a haploid cell meaning that it contains half of the chromosomes of most other cells (23), while most of the other cells of the body are diploid cells which contain 46 chromosomes.

Sex is determined by the combination of the X chromosome donated by the mother, and either the X or the Y donated by the father. XX makes a girl, while XY makes a boy.

While the egg normally always contains an X chromosome, and the sperm can have either an X or a Y chromosome, neither the sperm, nor the egg contain "a pair" of X chromosomes.
