Controversial Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Appears as ‘Woman’ Amid Gender Debate

Imane Khelif , the Algerian boxer, has shared new social media photos showing a very different appearance. Fans noticed a striking change in their look. These images have sparked fresh discussions about their gender identity.

Khelif won a gold medal in boxing at last year’s Paris Olympics. At the time, their gender was questioned by some reports. Certain media even referred to Khelif as a ‘man’, causing international debate.

Later, a leaked gender test report reportedly identified Khelif as male. The controversy led World Boxing, the new governing body, to mandate gender tests for women’s competitions.

Despite this, Khelif has not confirmed participation in any official gender test. Recently, they stated on social media that they endured a very difficult period.

Khelif also expressed their desire to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The boxer emphasized resilience and determination to continue their sports career.
