Imane Khelif found herself in the eye of a global storm along with another boxer from Taiwan.
THE ALGERIAN boxer embroiled in a major gender controversy guaranteed herself at least bronze at the Paris Olympics on Saturday, bursting into tears after winning her quarter-final.
Hamori, who had said it was unfair to face Khelif, was booed into the venue but was magnanimous in defeat.Advertisement “This is a matter of dignity and honour for every woman or female,” the 25-year-old Khelif told BeIN Sports after a second dominant victory in Paris, having dismantled her opening opponent in 46 seconds.
Khelif and Lin were disqualified from last year’s world championships, run by the International Boxing Association , after failing gender eligibility tests.
