Imane Khelif, a gold medal-winning boxer, has hit back at the International Boxing Association (IBA) over 'false and offensive' accusations regarding her gender. The IBA has launched legal action against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over Khelif's participation in the Paris Games, sparking controversy in the sports world. As a female boxer who has always competed in women's categories, Khelif's victory has been marred by the IBA's claims, with the boxer denying any wrongdoing and advocating for women's rights in sports, including women's boxing and Olympic boxing events.
