The match, which took place during the Paris 2024 Olympics, ended after only 46 seconds due to Carini&#8217;s concerns for her safety.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8The International Boxing Association has just announced it is going to award prize money to female boxer Angela Carini, who forfeited her Olympic match against Imane Khelif yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the IBA disqualified Khelif from women&#8217;s boxing for having &#8220;XY chromosomes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oK1GCeLPyQ\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/oK1GCeLPyQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 REDUXX (@ReduxxMag) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ReduxxMag\/status\/1819499152071434573?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 2, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Carini, visibly emotional after the match, expressed her heartbreak and the difficult decision she faced. &#8220;It hurts so much. My heart is broken. I went into the ring to honor my father. I&#8217;ve been told many times that I&#8217;m a fighter, but I chose to stop for my health. I&#8217;ve never taken such a hit,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The IBA recently announced that all gold medalists at the Games would receive a $50,000 prize. IBA President Umar Kremlev addressed the situation, expressing his support for Carini and his concerns about the implications for women&#8217;s boxing. &#8220;I could not watch her tears. I am not indifferent to such situations and I can assure you that we will protect every boxer,&#8221; Kremlev stated. &#8220;I do not understand why they are killing women&#8217;s boxing. Only eligible athletes should compete in the ring for the sake of safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The controversy centers around Khelif, who, along with Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan, was previously disqualified from last year&#8217;s World Championships for not meeting the gender identity criteria. The IBA&#8217;s decision to award Carini the prize money highlights the organization&#8217;s commitment to supporting its athletes amid complex and sensitive issues.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the IBA announced a prize for Sitora Turdibekova of Uzbekistan, who was defeated by Lin on Friday, further demonstrating the IBA&#8217;s dedication to fairness and athlete welfare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Boxing Association (IBA) has announced that Italian boxer Angela Carini will receive the monetary prize she would have earned as the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":485927,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[18144,17349,17669],"news_category":[20045],"gn_keywords":[18146,20046,19982],"acf":{"announce":"The Italian boxer didn't want to fight against Imane Khelif of Algeria, concerned she's not a biological woman","video":[]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/485926"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485926"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/485926\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":485928,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/485926\/revisions\/485928"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485926"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=485926"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=485926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
