Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer who clinched gold in the women's welterweight division at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has been at the center of a gender eligibility controversy. According to Al Jazeera, Khelif expressed her willingness to undergo genetic testing for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, provided the tests are conducted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This comes after the International Boxing Association (IBA) disqualified her from the 2023 World Championships due to sex chromosome tests, a decision she has appealed at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). As reported by Dawn, World Boxing, recognized provisionally by the IOC, mandated sex testing for all boxers, a move Khelif is challenging unless overseen by the IOC. She stated, 'Of course, I would accept doing anything I’m required to do to participate.'
