Imane Khelif must prove that she is a woman before the world boxing allows the Olympic master to compete in the events of Los Angeles 2028 matches.
The 26-year-old who won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 under the storm of advertising over gender principles, he is in the face of expulsion from the competition starting this summer.
After a breakthrough ruling of Great Britain, that the authorities can recognize women only as a born woman from birth, Khelif is in favor of the principles of the gray zone.
This scenario results from Khelif, which has differences in sex development (DSD) after tests marked with XY chromosomes. According to the modern rules implemented by World Boxing, the modern baking organ at the Olympic Games, Khelif will have to agree to the latest test procedures.
World boxing said that “they will introduce mandatory sexual tests to determine the rights of men and women who want to take part in their competitions.
“The introduction of compulsory tests will be part of the modern policy of” sex, age and weight “to ensure the safety of all participants and ensure a competitive chance of chances for men and women.”
They added: “World Boxing wrote to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform that Imane Khelif will not be able to participate in the women’s category in the Eindhoven Box Cup or in any world boxing event until Inene Khelif passes sexual tests.”
A letter sent by World Boxing to the Algerian Boxing Federation on May 30, 2025. He states:
“Imane Khelif cannot participate in the women’s category in the Eindhoven Box Cup, June 5-10, 2025 and every global boxing event, until Inene Khelif is genetic sex examination in accordance with the principles of world boxing and testing procedures.
“According to global boxing laws, corrections to the rules of competition are usually introduced by the Congress. However, in special or emergency circumstances, the World Boxing Executive Council is entitled to make immediate corrections, when the rule is no longer functional or when evolving conditions require change.
“In May 2025, the Management Board benefited from this authority and adopted modern criteria for eligibility to participate in boxing categories specific to gender. These modern qualifying principles were developed with a clear purpose of protecting athletes in combat sport, especially taking into account the physical risk associated with boxing in the Olympic style.
“Please inform you that the global boxing policy, if the athlete’s sex certificate is questioned by the athlete’s federation or world boxing, the athlete does not qualify for competition until the dispute is resolved.”
Due to Khelif’s previous objection to the fury surrounding the qualifications, there is a possibility that the Algeria star may decide to transform professional or retire in sport.
The genetic test policy was in the past criticized for distinguishing fighters for ridicule and abuse.
Lin yu-yinting from Taiwan, which also won gold in Paris, is in the face of the same control that goes forward at the world boxing competition.
By tagging the testing procedure, World Boxing added: “The modern policy of world boxing and the introduction of tests means 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 in birth and everifality.
“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 performed by nasal swab/mouth, saliva or blood.
“Athletes who are considered men at 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.”
The funds of world boxing seem to be a modern point of reference of international boxing among all the national federations involved.
In the September World Championships in Liverpool they will give a huge indication of who aims to compete in La 2028.
Oscar de la Hoya offered Teofimo Lopez on board and joining Golden Boy, if there is no more promoter. De la Hoya says he wants to transform the master of two Teofimo divisions into “PPV star”.
Lopez apologizes to Turki
Yesterday Teofimo (22-1, 13 KO) publicly apologized to Turki Alalshikh on X for the offensive remarks he made about him on social media, calling him a “cutter”. Turki has not yet received an answer. If Teo can patch out things from Turka, he may not need de la Hoya. He can earn a lot of money by fighting on the cards of the Riyadh Alalshikha season against Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.
Homophobic Cross remarks
With some comments that Lopez wrote about Turk, it is doubtful that his apologies will be accepted. He crossed the line with homophobic things.
Teofimo did not look particularly impressive defense against Arnold Barboza Jr. On the card on May 2 Times Square in Modern York. He won the 12-round fight by a unanimous decision against Barboz JR, but it was a huge move. Some fans liked to see how Teofimo withdraws around the ring, but most of those who like the action considered it unworthy of being on PPV.
@Teofimolopez Bro, if you don’t have a promoter, call me. I can give you advice and take care of your best deal. Let’s make you a PPV star as you deserve it.
De la Hoya will not be able to artificially stop Teofimo at the top if he is unable to beat the best fighters at the age of 140, like Gary Antuanne Russell and Richardson Hitchins. Lopez presses to fight Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Fans perceive this as a sign that he pays, and simply tries to get the largest payday day before his career sinks in the emure.
To his Excellency @Turki_ALSHIKHHI take full responsibility for my inappropriate words in the “X” application.
I apologize to him in public; I will lead with greater respect, humility and professionalism. Sending love and lithe to everyone. You 🥊 #Box#MakeboxingGreatagain
By TM Madison: In the era in which Turks Alalshikh pours millions into boxing, one might think that the fighting fans will finally get the duels they were begging for. But instead of fighting the dreams, the promoters are still feeding us by beloved sparring sessions – in piles with massive names fighting opponents that no one asked for.
Take the latest card: Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo were presented, but not against each other. Fans want this fight since the plants threw hell from Charlo years ago. Building was there. The tension was true. But instead of capitalization, we received two separate, forgotten fights. And now, with the loss of the plant, we can never see this duel – and in the best time, we have to wait years until it means something again.
And this is not one-off-that’s how it happens.
We had Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua on the same card, only so that Wilder would lose to Joseph Parker before the duel could be teased. Then there was a card with the participation of Speedy Rashidi Ellis and Jaron “Boots” Ennis – the fan was excited for the future duel. But they fought with separate opponents and lost quickly, killing noise. Or consider this event with Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia the same night, but none of them fought. It was sold as historical. It ended with forgotten.
This pattern is exhausting. Promoters still arrange cards with recognizable names, hoping that the very power of the star will divert attention from the lack of real rates, competition or risk. But fans look through it. This is marketing of lures, and people are tired of playing.
If boxing really wants to revive, it’s for a billion time: stop protecting records and start making people really want to.
Give us the action. Give us a drama. Give us duels that matter.
Because no amount of money or flash can hide a card full of omitted capabilities.
Coach Jeff Majeweather still thinks that the Caleb vs. Jermall Charlo Fight may take place next, despite the defeat of Planty from Armando Resndiz on Saturday evening in Las Vegas. Jeff says “Nothing has changed” In terms of the profitability of the struggle of plants-charlo. He claims that the plant is in a “great position” to take part in the fight with Jermall.
The shopping plant needs winnings
The “Honey” plant is located in a weakened position to act as if “nothing has changed” and ignoring the rematch with Resendiz to continue fighting Jermall. The Caleb’s record is 2-3 in the last five years, and fans perceive him as a broken warrior shell who fought the Mexican star of Canelo Alvarez in 2021.
Fans see differently. They are not cheerful to see Plant (23-3, 14 KO) fighting Charlo (34-0, 23 KO) after a 12-round defeat of the decision-making division of Caleb with Resendiz (16-2, 11 KO) on Saturday evening at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. People do not want to pay to see two antique washed fighters on PPV. Planty and Jermall looked like a few antique fossils from the Mesozoic era, from the dinosaur era, last Saturday evening. If you don’t fight for free, fans will not be interested when they fight.
Ideally, Jermall needs a few wins against some of the best pretenders, such as Diego Paczeco and Christian Mbilli, before fighting the Shopvorn factory would make sense. As for Caleba, he must absolutely avenge his defeat against the Restndiz and look like gold.
RESSENDIZ made the ephemeral master of the super medium weight WBA looked much older than his chronological age 32, beating him through the results of 116-112 Resendiz, 115-113 plant and 116-112 Resendiz. Most people agreed that RESENDIS won eight of twelve rounds.
The excluded caleb lost control
“I think Caleb thought he was winning when he was a bit behind him, because at the end of the fight he was more or less a box, instead of trying to do his best and win this round,” said Jeff Mayweather to Warrior About Caleb Plant does not understand that he lost to Armando Resendiz last Saturday.
The plant admitted last night at a press conference after the fight that he was wrongly convinced that he was winning the fight. He said he thought he had won five of the first six rounds and felt that he won at least two rounds in the last half of the fight for winning 7-5.
Caleba’s coach, Stephen Edwards, sounded desperate in championship rounds in the 9-12, telling him many times that he must start him with Resendiz. That the plant would not be aware of how desperate Edwards suggested that he was mentally disconnected from how terrible its situation was. It is possible that the ego plant is so immense at the moment of its career that he has a distorted view on what is happening in his fights. You hate to have someone like that in your platoon during the war
“We are not used to the fact that Caleb is fighting this way. He is a great boxer, a brilliant boxer, and he should do it against everything,” said Jeff about making a mistake by brawling with Resendiz instead of boxing.
Ponderous plant: slower, older
The plant tried to box, but it looked as if it had excessive weight and could not be moved, as he did when it was lighter. RESENDIZ did not have to do much to plant, because he often stopped to rest again, which is a sign of age and is too weighty.
“I thought he did well But you could still see rust in him, “said Jeff about his thoughts about the performance of Jermalla Charlo in his technical knockout Thomas Lamanna in the sixth round after two years of inactivity.” Although he stopped the guy, he did not seem to be urgent to do it. “
It seemed that Jermall lacked conditions to attack Lamanna as he had to get him out of there before. 35-year-old Charlo looked fleshy, carrying an additional 10-15 pounds of fat on the frame, which he should not be there. He was not well-trained enough to fight for a full three minutes of activity to knock out the journeyman Lamanna (39-6-1, 18 KO) early as Erislanda Lara did.
“There were times when he just carried a guy, and most of the time the fighters don’t do it,” continued Jeff about Charlo. “He could have and said it. He said it at a press conference. He said he wanted to get a few rounds, and he did that. I don’t think Caleb was in the ring with Charlo that he would fight in the same way he fought with this guy [Resendiz]Jeff said asked how the fight between Jermall Charlo and Plant would be like this if it took place last Saturday.
Jermall looked fleshy, unstoppable
Charlo was caught from Lamanna’s shots and it could be said that his reflexes and time were turned off. Four years of inactivity and difficult life, burning candles at both ends, took something from Jermall. His power remained the same, but his physical skills deteriorated significantly. The way he fought would lose many of the 15 best rivals in 168. At least 10 pretenders for medium medium weight would eliminate Jermalla last Saturday. However, it still looks good enough to beat Caleb Plant.
“I just felt he [Plant] He felt he had done enough to win [against Resendiz]And he didn’t. It has a rematch clause, as well as a fight with Charlo. Nothing has really changed, “Jeff said about the plant.” He can still fight Charlo before he is still fighting with the rematch [with Armando]If he ever intends to make a rematch. So Caleb is still in a great position. “
