The Italian boxer who copped a beating at the hands of Algeria’s competitor and then abandoned their fight has been awarded $75,000 in prizemoney in the wake of her loss.
The Imane Khelif gender scandal has taken a shock twist as Italian boxer Angela Carini is awarded prizemoney from The International Boxing Association after bashing.
In awarding her the money, IBA president Umar Kremlev doubled down on his attack on the International Olympics Committee , accusing it of “killing women’s boxing”. Khelif hit Carini in 46 seconds, just one year after the IBA disqualified her for failing a sex test at the world championships. "I’m sorry for my opponent, too. If the IOC said she can fight, I respect that decision," Carini said to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Yu-Ting was barred from competing and accused by the boxing association's president Umar Kremlev of trying to gain an upper hand over their opponents. “I definitely don’t agree with that, but at the same time we need proof, we need evidence before there’s all this talk about these athletes.Angela Carini of Team Italy makes her way to the ring.
