In light of plans to introduce this policy and the particular circumstances surrounding some boxers that competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, World Boxing has written to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform it that Imane Khelif will not be allowed to participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup or any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes sex testing.
Put a male In with female boxing and see how fair the match ends. It’s not about cruelty it’s about basic muscular differences between sexes.
Edit: Even after transition surgery the muscle gain/loss is not significant enough to be an appropriate excuse.
They’re specifically targeting Imane Khelif, a female in female boxing.
By claiming that she isn’t actually a woman, and therefore shouldn’t be fighting other women.
yikes I cannot believe your name 😬 you’re basically spouting off right wing anti trans propaganda.
I’d suggest you learn a bit more about transitioning, trans women are not just dudes in dresses. and medical transition destroys theuscle gains you get from being a dude.
I can tell you this first hand, I went from jacked dude bro to not even being able to open a jar.i have to asky bf these days LMAO. by the way, professional women athletes can comfortably destroy any random guy, it’s honestly insulting to have this conversation as if it’s anything but more senseless rage bait to paint targets on our backs.
nobody understands just what transitioningeams or what it does, how sex works
how cis women can literally have testosterone just like a cis guy…like it’s all just hate
also I guarantee moone says shit about trans men in male sports it’s literally just hate. if they really cared about fairness they’d do testing for hormone levels and weight differences and class everyone fairly regardless of sex lol.
I sincerely can’t wait for all the broken brains after this Argentinian chiccs test results come back. it’s so fucking cruel what they are saying about her. to suggest she is trans just. because she makes a bunch of weak minded people feel insecure in their understandings of how biology works lol
bein trans is not allowed in Argentina, she’s just masculine cis woman, and I’m sure these cronies know this, they just want to take every opportunity to pass judgement on women specifically under some virtue signalling bullshit
they don’t care about fairness if they did Imsurance companies wouldn’t happily deny a cancer victim. they wouldn’t get off on struggling students whoe graduated sid everything right and still end up homeless
it’s all just silly imo, we’re so pathetic as a species sometimes it makese sad
I’m just being pedantic, but she’s from Algeria, not Argentina.
Otherwise, appreciate your perspective. Hormone changes are like magic!
When did you become so stupid was it at birth or did you hit your head recently? Fascism is a consequence of far right policy gone unchecked, so in what world does my user name reading “FuckFascism” have anything remotely to do with “spouting off right wing anti trans propaganda”?
Why wouldn’t they then measure testosterone levels instead? What if a trans man fights a woman, because he has a vagina? Is that a fair fight?

I’d rather fight Tate than Khelif, that’s for sure. One of the two knows how to move, the other one knows how to be angry.
Your feelings aside this is insane. Tate was a 4x world kickboxing champion at light heavyweight. He’d demolish you with one hand tied behind his back
Tate’s record was heavily inflated and after he got one that looked good he stopped fighting because it had served its purpose, and he wasn’t a world champion of anything certified by an organization that actually means anything
I’m not saying you’re wrong necessarily, but one of these people just came off winning an Olympic medal and the other basically won one title and retired
He might – I doubt with one hand, but in any case the point is not that I’d be keen on fighting either, the point is that Tate would be an easier fight than Khelif. Tate does have the capacity, in principle, to be a good fighter (e.g. you can see is kinaesthetic sense in action when he’s dancing, and he does have grit), he could have achieved titles that mean anything to anyone instead of being world champion of beating up complete amateurs and then promptly retiring. Alas, his neuroses are in the way. Lots of show, lots of bluster, dangerous in the sense that a rabid dog is dangerous because, as said, he knows how to be angry. Khelef? Calm, clean, methodical, keeps her centre, actually thinks in the ring. Whole different league, and nothing to do with raw strength. Strength doesn’t do shit when you suck at the rest.
Again this is just delusional. I’m no Tate fanboy but I follow combat sports and train regularly - he’s like 30kg heavier than her and he’s got legit world class skill.
Don’t believe me? Listen to the MMA goat Demetrius Johnson himself break down some footage https://youtu.be/NMwuAut8JJc
A was talking about how they fight, not how they spar… In an edited video. An edited video of a notoriously vain man, for consumption by his fans. Commented by another man with enough of a martial arts beard to declare a clear win a draw and who knows exactly how to keep armchair blackbelts clicking on his videos. No shade though I mean if just one Tate bro now watches Johnson instead of Tate that’s a good thing.
He’s got talent, yes, I already acknowledged that. He’s got some training, that combination is how he beat up complete amateurs (seriously – look at the fight record of the people he fought). He’s probably hitting bags regularly, but, and here comes the kicker: Bags don’t win Olympic medals. Bags don’t study their opponent. Bags don’t evade. Bags don’t out-focus and out-strategise. There’s a reason he quit kickboxing and that’s because he realised he doesn’t have the mind for it (Obligatory Bruce Lee) and quitting early allowed him to grift better.
Watch the Raab vs. Halmich fights one day if you get the chance. Raab is certainly not even a proper amateur when it comes to skill (those are meme fights), but just to get an impression of how 30kg weight difference don’t mean shit in the face of a skill gap. Their height difference is 20cm, Khelif/Tate would be more around 10.
I’m hardly a Tate bro. Just saying female gold medalist boxer is not beating a larger, faster, and sure slightly less skilled male. The gap in physiologies is too great
