Laura Woods has revealed she has received death threats over her response to an article on the gender eligibility debate surrounding Olympic boxing champion Imane Khelif.
The controversy surrounding Algerian boxer Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting - who also won gold in her respective category - began when both boxers were banned from the Women's World Championships last year.The IBA was suspended in 2019 due to finance, governance and integrity concerns, with the International Olympic Committee having assumed control of Olympic boxing since the Tokyo Games.
After several replies to other users, the TNT Sports and ITV presenter next tweeted on Thursday - and claimed she had received death threats and calls for her to be sacked.She wrote: "Since I replied to this article I've had numerous death threats to myself and my unborn child. "I've also been asked why I haven't raised any concerns on this topic before? See above for your answer."
