Imane Khelif’s father has shared her birth certificate on live TV after the gender controversy.
Much talk has surrounded the fight with Algerian athlete, Imane Khelif and Italy’s Angela Carini.
The Italian athlete left the ring after just 46 seconds, with a suspected broken nose, following a contentious match.
The Algerian athlete, who was born and raised as a girl, was banned from competing in a gold medal match in Delhi by the International Boxing Association after failing a gender eligibility test but has been allowed to fight at the 2024 Olympics.
Prior to the match, the Algerian Olympic Committee defended their boxer, issuing a statement condemning the criticism she faced.
