An Olympic boxing match between Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Italy’s Angela Carini has stirred controversy in the sports world. Khelif's participation in the match raised concerns as she reportedly failed a gender eligibility test during the 2023 World Championships, where she was found to have male chromosomes, according to the International Boxing Association.
Carini decided to abandon the fight just 46 seconds into the match, prompting boxing legend Jackie Kallen to express her disapproval. Kallen, a trailblazer in the male-dominated sport, criticized the decision to allow the bout to take place, citing the ban on similar situations in other contact sports.
