YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul called the controversy surrounding Italian boxer Angela Carini and Algerian Imane Khelif 'sickening' and a 'travesty.'
Arguably the most prominent name in boxing has spoken out about the gender controversy in the Olympics. After Angela Carini quit her fight against a boxer deemed to have XY chromosomes, Jake Paul called the ordeal 'sickening' and 'a travesty.' 'Doesn’t matter what you believe. This is wrong and dangerous,' Paul wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Imane Khelif of Algeria defeated Carini, who lasted all of 46 seconds before going to her corner to call off the fight. Khelif celebrated the win while Carini was left in tears. After the fight, Carini, was heard yelling to her coaches in Italian, questioning the fairness of the bout. 'I got into the ring to fight,' she said, via 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.
president Umar Kremlev explained the decision at the time, according to Russia’s Tass News Agency. Reuters reported at the time that Khelif tested positive for having high levels of testosterone. 'Based on DNA tests, we identified a number of athletes who tried to trick their colleagues into posing as women. According to the results of the tests, it was proved that they have XY chromosomes. Such athletes were excluded from competition,' Kremlev said.
