Italian Boxer Abandons Bout After 46 Seconds
Algeria's Imane Khelif Wins by Forfeit
Carini Quits Mid-Fight Amid Gender Identity Questions
Paris, France - In a shocking turn of events at the Paris Olympics, Italian boxer Angela Carini abandoned her bout against Algeria's Imane Khelif just 46 seconds into the match on Thursday. The incident has raised questions about Carini's gender identity and has sparked controversy in the boxing community.
Khelif, 25, won the 66kg category fight by forfeit after Carini walked out of the ring without throwing a single punch. The two boxers had only exchanged a few jabs before Carini made her abrupt decision.
Carini's withdrawal comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over her gender identity. In recent months, she has faced accusations of being a biological male competing in women's boxing. World Boxing boss Boris Van Der Vorst has addressed these issues, but the controversy continues to hang over Carini's career.
