Female Boxer Calls for Imane Khelif to Reveal DNA Test Results

Australian boxer Marissa Williamson has publicly called on Algerian boxer Imane Khelif to disclose her DNA test results amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Khelif’s participation in the Paris Olympics.

Marissa Williamson, who lost her preliminary match and would have faced Imane Khelif next, raised questions about the fairness of allowing Imane Khelif to compete.

Imane Khelif’s recent victory over Italy’s Angela Carini, who withdrew from their bout after 46 seconds due to severe pain from Khelif’s punches, has sparked significant debate.

Critics argue that Imane Khelif’s inclusion is unfair and undermines the integrity of women’s boxing. Angela Carini’s decision to quit, citing intense pain, further fueled these arguments.

Marissa Williamson, along with other athletes and officials, demands transparency from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and clearer guidelines to ensure a level playing field.

The Algerian Olympic Committee defended Imane Khelif, denouncing the attacks on her character.
