Controversial Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is guaranteed a medal at Paris 2024 and has sent a message to her critics while doing so. “This is a matter of dignity and honour for every woman or female,” the 25-year-old said after defeating Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori 5-0 in the quarterfinals of the women’s 66-kilogram bout.. “The entire Arab people have known me for years. “For years I have been boxing in international federation competitions, they were unfair with me.
