I hope the women involved drop out. Khelif is not safe.

Women's groups will be protesting the event.

Remember Khelif has still not taken any real legal action or taken another simple test to prove their sex.

Khelif will cause outrage across the world again.

Imane Khelif Set To Defend Title In The Netherlands' Eindhoven Box Cup

Ten months after a controversial gold-medal-winning run in the 2024 Paris Olympics, Imane Khelif is set to return to the ring at the Eindhoven Box Cup next week.

Didn't he threaten to or start legal proceedings after the furore at the Paris Olympics? I guess that never happened then?

JK Rowling has commented that she is still waiting for being served legal papers. Nothing so far.

I see this competition is under the auspices of World Boxing, who were set up in opposition to the IBA - yes, that's the organisation that did the tests on Khelif and yes, it was financially and politically dodgy, that's factually accurate; both these statements are true and don't cancel out the validity of the tests.

World Boxing is very big on safeguarding, the well-being of the boxers, etc., so that's probably the best line to take by protesters: how can WB stand by the inclusion of someone who is 99% certain to be male [yeah, I think 100% too, but I'm trying to be reasonable] in the women's competition?

World Boxing who still hasn't moved with explaining their position on this. Weren't they supposedly reviewing the situation?

It would be worth quoting the Spanish national boxing coach Rafa Lozano, who said in an interview on Radio Marca that Khelif was considered too dangerous to pair with women at a boxing retreat in Madrid ahead of the Olympics.

"We put [Khelif] with Jennifer Fernandez and it hurt her. Whoever we put [Khelif] with was injured.”

Lozano said that to avoid further injury to the women, the coaches eventually paired Khelif with Jose Quiles, one of Spain’s top male boxers.

Thanks @Chersfrozenface
He is absolutely shameless. As a PP said, shame on the event organisers for enabling him. The women in the competition are left with the desperate choice of throwing away all their hard work and training by declining to compete. Or potentially being hit by a man for public entertainment. It's disgusting.

Didn't he threaten to or start legal proceedings after the furore at the Paris Olympics? I guess that never happened then?

He filed a legal case with the hate crime unit in the Paris prosecutor's office in August last year. Also, in November 2024, was supposed to be taking "legal action against individuals who commented on her [sic] situation during the Olympic Games Paris 2024" and to be on"preparing a lawsuit in response to the latest reporting" on his sex status.

Nothing has come of any of these supposed actions up until now.

In February this year he posted on social media about considering legal steps against the IBA. The IBA was delighted "as a court would force our organization to reveal two gender tests based on which the boxer was banned from participating in any IBA women’s events."

I wonder if they’ll be making any women who do box against him do the media ‘of course he’s a woman’ thing like they did at the Olympics

Of course it's in the Netherlands. The country that sent a child rapist to the Olympics.

MrsEmmelineLucas · 28/05/2025 11:47

How is this even allowed? What about the women he will box against?

Helleofabore · 28/05/2025 11:45

I noticed a tweet by the Eindhoven Box Cup that featured Khelif. It must be very concerning and distressing for the female boxers in that category.

DorothyStorm · 28/05/2025 08:56

How is this still going on!!?!?

TheOtherRaven · 28/05/2025 08:51

Shame on the organisation enabling him.
