Dutee Chand extends support to under-fire boxer Imane Khalif following controversial win in Paris Olympics
Aug 02, 2024
Italian boxer Angela Carini quit her 66 kg women's category boxing match against Algeria's Imane Khalif on Thursday, handing the latter, who was banned from competing in world championships following failures in testosterone and gender eligibility tests, a win in the opening round. Algeria's Khelif won the fight within just 46 seconds after her opponent quit. A very few punches were thrown before Carini abandoned the match, which is a rare occurrence in Olympic boxing.
