When is Imane Khelif fighting at Olympics 2024? Start time and TV channel for boxing gold medal fight

Imane Khelif fights for boxing gold tonight as she takes on Yang Liu at the Olympics.

It has been a Games full of controversy, with Khelif facing questions over whether she should even be in Paris after the International Boxing Association disqualified her from last year’s Women’s World Championships, claiming the 25-year-old had failed a gender eligibility test.

She now attempts to become Algeria’s first ever female boxing gold medallist, and goes up against Yang Liu of China.

"I am focused," Khelif said.

"I am here for a good performance and my dream. I will give everything I have for the final."
