After Italy’s Angela Carini quit her Olympics fight against a boxer considered to have XY chromosomes, Jake Paul called the ordeal “sickening” and “a travesty.”
Imane Khelif of Algeria defeated Carini, who lasted all of 46 seconds before going to her corner to call off the fight.
Paul added, “To Angela Carini although your dreams couldn’t come true today because of the crazy agendas that are at play in our world at the moment, I would love to offer you to fight on an MVP undercard, to show the world your talents on a fair platform.”
Khelif fought under a firestorm of controversy regarding a failed gender eligibility test in 2023.
Khelif was disqualified during the 2023 World Championships, sanctioned by the International Boxing Association. The organization said Khelif failed to meet gender eligibility standards.
