NEW DELHI: Italian boxer Angela Carini on Thursday stopped her welterweight bout against Algeria's Imane Khelif after just 46 seconds due to intense pain in her nose but insisted she does not consider it a defeat.
Carini's decision to abandon the fight came after Khelif's failure to meet gender eligibility criteria at the 2023 World Championships, although Khelif was cleared to compete in the Paris Olympics.
