The International Boxing Association (IBA) has disqualified boxers Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif from the 2023 Women’s World Boxing Championships, citing failure to meet eligibility criteria for female competitors, which has sparked controversy in the wake of Khelif's recent match against female boxer Angela Carini. Khelif, who has a history of eligibility issues, faced Carini in an Olympic match that ended in just 46 seconds, leaving Carini injured and raising concerns about fairness in women's sports. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields criticized the match, emphasizing the inherent physical advantages of biological males competing against females, which she deemed unfair. The IBA's announcement and the subsequent match have ignited debates over gender inclusion in sports, with many arguing that allowing biological males to compete against females undermines the integrity of women's competitions. The incident has prompted a social media backlash, with the hashtag #IStandWithAngelaCarini trending as supporters decried the match as a violation of fair play principles. Critics assert that the Olympic Committee has failed to protect female athletes, as seen in this controversial match that many believe tarnishes the spirit of the Games.
