In the previous statement, the management body revealed that 26 -year -old Khelif would have to undergo sex tests to participate in the events of women who organize or sanction.
The respected gold medalist in the welterweight of last year’s Olympic Games in Paris found her name in the center of a balmy debate after world boxing suggested that she could not take part in the Eindhoven Box Cup this month without completing the required tests. This happened despite the fact that Khelif received the green delicate for the Olympic Games, despite the earlier disqualification of the World Championships in 2023 organized by the International Boxing Association on questions related to gender qualifications.
In the dramatic corner of Boris van der Vorst, president of world boxing, he submitted a formal written apology for the Algerian Boxing Federation for the specific name of Khelif, determining the violation of her privacy. “I am writing to you after a recent world boxing statement referring to Imane Khelif, who was excluded from competition in the coming Eindhoven Box Cup 5-10 June 2025,” he admitted in his letter.
“As part of the World Boxing communication activities, Imane was identified by the name.
“To offer a wider context on this subject, the statement took place as part of a broader announcement related to the planned introduction of compulsory sexual tests under the recent policy of” sex age and weight “, which world boxing is undergoing finalization.
“This policy is aimed at widespread operate to all male and female athletes and aims to ensure the safety of all participants and ensure a competitive game for all men and women.”
The management body also confirmed that the results of previous results achieved by boxers will not be viewed.
Preliminary announcement from the management body – which will be supervised by boxing at the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028 – contained a publication of a letter sent to the Algerian Boxing Federation, explaining the requirement that Khelif would undergo sex research so that he could still compete this month by Eindhoven Box Cup or any other women.
World Boxing said that he introduces rules under the recent policy regarding sex, age and weight “to ensure the safety of all participants and ensure competitive opportunities for men and women.” The letter stated that in the event of a challenge of the federation or world boxing for sex certification, Khelif Khelif will remain non -eligible for competition until the dispute is resolved.
The recently presented policy states that all athletes aged 18 and elders who want to take part in the global boxing or sanctioned event must undergo a PCR genetic test (polymerase chain reaction). This determines their sex after birth and qualifying for competing.
World boxing stated that athletes identified as men after birth, as indicated by the presence of the genetic material of the Y chromosome (Gen Sry) or with a difference in sexual development (DSD), in which there is androgenization of men, they will be able to compete in the men’s category.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
