 “I got into the ring to fight,” Carini told Italy’s ANSA. “I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much, and so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high.”

In response to the controversy, Paul extended a unique offer to Carini, inviting her to join an undercard for his brand, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).

 But the drama doesn’t end there. The controversy surrounding Khelif has deeper roots and a troubling backstory.

Imane Khelif, a promising boxer from Algeria, has been mired in controversy due to a failed gender eligibility test from 2023.

 Khelif’s exclusion from the 2023 World Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) sparked significant backlash.

The IBA accused Khelif, along with Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting, of failing to meet gender eligibility standards.

 According to IBA President Umar Kremlev, the decision was based on DNA tests that revealed Khelif and others had XY chromosomes.

“Based on DNA tests, we identified a number of athletes who tried to trick their colleagues into posing as women,” Kremlev said, as reported by Russia’s Tass News Agency.

“Such athletes were excluded from competition,” Kremlev added, citing high testosterone levels as a factor.

The IBA also claimed that Khelif had “competitive advantages over other female competitors.”

In a fierce defense, Khelif and the Algerian Olympic Committee (COA) have denied the allegations of having XY chromosomes.

The COA, along with Khelif, have consistently rejected the claims and maintained that the boxer meets all gender eligibility criteria.

Despite the controversy, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has come out in support of Khelif.

On Thursday, the IOC issued a statement clearing Khelif to compete in the Games, highlighting a complex web of verification and eligibility rules.
