Italian Boxer Abandoned Fight Against Algeria Boxe

Algeria's Imane Khelif won her opening Olympic boxing match when Italy's Angela Carini quit after 46 seconds.

Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 world championships after failing an unspecified gender eligibility test, and her presence at the Paris Olympics has become a divisive issue.

Carini refused to shake Khelif's hand after the decision was announced, and she cried in the ring before leaving. #paris2024 #italy #boxing #algeria #olympicgames
