Imane Khelif must fight men or retire with boxing

Olympic gold medalist IMane Khelif will have to compete with men or withdraw from this sport after the last world boxing government.
World Boxing, an organization that supervises the boxing program of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), will allow women only with the XX chromosomes to compete in female tournaments.
During earlier khelif procedures, a positive test for XY chromosomes due to differences in gender development disorders (DSD). Therefore, Algerian will automatically encounter disqualification from competing with women in accordance with the changed rules.
This gives 26-year-old only two options. Khelif can try to apply his success of the Golden Medal at the Olympic Games in Paris against male boxers or for a good withdrawal from this sport.
If Khelif decides on a professional, WBN expects the authorities to force the 2024 champion to compete in the men’s category. Professional organs will undoubtedly apply the recommended gender rules in an amateur code around the world.
If the world boxing classifies Khelif as a man, each sanction or managing body in a paid code would have to do the same.
Returning policy changes on Friday, it is clear that Khelif has no future on the female side of sport due to chromosome makeup.
“The fresh policy of world boxing and the introduction of tests mean that all athletes over 18 years of age who want to participate in global boxing or sanctioned competition will have to undergo a PCR genetic test (polymerase chain reaction) to determine their sex at birth and their right to compete,” they said.
“The PCR test is a laboratory technique used to detect a specific genetic material, in this case the SRY gene, which reveals the presence of a Y chromosome, which is a biological sex indicator. The test can be carried out using a nose or mouth, saliva or blood.
“Athletes who are considered men after birth, as evidenced by the presence of the Y genetic material (Sry gene) or with a difference in sexual development (DSD), in which male androgenization occurs, will be entitled to compete in the men’s category.
“Athletes who are considered women at birth, as evidenced by the presence of 20th chromosomes or the lack of genetic material of the Y chromosome (gene sry) or from DSD, in which male androgenization does not occur, will be qualified for competing in the female category.
“In accordance with the fresh policy, the National Federations will be responsible for tests and will be required to confirm the sex of their athletes during participation in global boxing competitions, ensuring a chromosomal sex certificate, determined by the PCR test.”
Imane khelif inept for the female category
The expression that confirms that Khelif is not eligible for competing, as the world box was announced, is: “failure to comply with the certification of chromosomal sex athlete or ensuring false certification will cause that the athlete will not be qualified to compete and can lead to a sanction against sports and/or national athlete federation.
“Where the results of tests for boxers who want to compete in the female category, reveal the genetic material of the Y chromosome and potential DSD, initial screening will be addressed to independent clinical specialists in the field of genetic research, hormonal profiles, anatomical tests or other assessment of hormonal profiles by medical specialists.”
Representatives of the Algerian Boxing Commission were to issue a statement at the weekend. It never came when all pages are considering the next move.
The fact that Algeria joined in September 2024 raises the question of whether world boxing informed them about his intentions on 2025 before registration.
It can be safely said that Imane Khelif will not appear in the Eindhoven Box Cup in the Netherlands next month, because the fresh rules currently mean this tournament.
The international boxing event of the Liverpool World Championships in September would be another realistic goal of Khelif, who remained only two options.
Lin Yu Ting, which won the gold medal with Khelif in Paris 2024, will be subjected to the same gender qualificity tests if he plans to fight again.

Devin Haney’s Mount Rushmore Pursuit: Bill Haney discusses the future after Snub Teofimo Lopez

Bill Haney sounded like a fisherman who could not land a massive fish, complaining that Teofimo Lopez decided not to go from 16 August to fight Devin Haney in Riyadh. As Bill says, it was a second time trying to negotiate the fight against “Gordo” Teofimo (22-1, 13 KO).
Lopez, Garcia crossed
Bill said that from now on they have a “list of hits” when his attempts to land Teofimo and Ryan Garcia broke up. He does not say who is on the list of hits, but it is reasonable to assume that Devin fighters would have a good chance of defeating.
He does not intend to attack fighters such as Jaron Ennis and Brian Norman Jr., because they are guys that he would not have a chance to defeat. Thanks to Bill’s ability to choose them, he waited for the smoke to spotless Manna Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios next July 19 and aims at the winner. It would be a classic move. If not, Conor Benn would be another logical choice.
“Turki [Alalshikh] He took the money from the equation. But our second time was sitting with Teofimo Lopez. Me and Devin are involved in conducting the biggest fights in boxing. If Gordo [Teofimo] He is not ready, Gordo is not ready, “said Bill Haney RingComplaining that Teofimo Lopez will decide not to fight him.
Haneya Rushmore mountain
“His [Devin] The list of hits is true. And we are looking forward to further pursuit of his face to Mount Rushmore from boxing. Now go forward and cut Teofimo Lopez from the list – just like Ryan Garcia. Who is next?Bill said.
Well, let me submit suggestions. Haney can continue to fight for the title of champion of WBA “ordinary” welterweight master Rolando “Rolly” Romero. This is a completely reasonable backup plan for Devin, and he would get the title shot, which he does not deserve after his terrible performance against Jose Ramirez on the “City of Wolves” card on May 2 at Times Square. Haney’s performance was the worst on the whole card and it says a lot.
Devin killers options
If Haney does not feel like gaining a weighty roll, he could face one of these killers in the next:
– Brian Norman JR.: WBO Wawerterwaight Mawer
– Shakhram Giyasov
– Eimantas Stanionis
-Gary Antuanne Russell: WBA 140-lb champion
-Richardson Hitchins: IBF 140-LB Champ
-Alberto pello: WBC 140-LB Champ

“Life can be such a mountain train, especially for women-sports women,” said Thorslund (23-0, 9 KO) on Thursday in a statement for ESPN. “I really was looking forward to this fight – the biggest moment in my career. Recently I found out that I was pregnant, a curve that I did not expect, but elated.

Is Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenka Crawford Clash provides expectations?

Terenka Crawford admits that he has a “arduous challenge” until 168 to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed championship in the bulky weight of September 13. Bud Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) was inactive for most of the last four years, he did not look good in his last fight with Israil Madrimov, and he is after the wrong 30 years, approaching 40.
Risk of jumping in the weight class
Turks Alalshikh believed in Crawford enough to fight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO), but there is a good chance that this fight may not provide fireworks that he hoped. Crawford decided not to tune up to the weight class and moves around two divisions after a 13-month release against Alvarez.
There would be a lot of disappointment if the fight is dull when Crawford runs in the ring or if it is a complete mismatch, such as the fight of Alvarez with Jermell Charlo. Therefore, it is a bad idea to throw a lot of money on a smaller warrior to move up two or three weight classes. There is a risk that it will not be a humorous fight, especially when a smaller warrior refuses to gain experience in this weight class.
Coach Abel Sanchez and former world champion in four letters Mikey Garcia are skeptical about Crawford’s victory. They both noticed how bad he looked in his last fight with Israil Madrimov on August 3, winning a narrow 12-round unanimous decision of the results 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113.
More exact of these results were 115-113, even though they did not tell the whole story. It could be a draw or a win for Madrimov, if he was not such a more popular warrior than he himself. Crawford now jumps at 14 pounds from 154 to 168 and again, without tuning in the weight class. Only he knows why he decided not to fight someone aged 168 to get experience.
Crawford at the face of Canelo
“On both sides it will be a arduous challenge. He will have some challenges. I will have some challenges. This is what the great fights are about. Which overcomes these challenges and uses the mistakes of the second warrior,” said Terenka Crawford, that you would take Warrior About his challenge of September 13 against Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas.
“I will be ready and I will be prepared. I am excited and I can’t wait,” said Crawford.
