There was a lot of talk about her during the Olympics. And not just for sporting reasons. Algerian Olympic boxing champion <a href="http://www.time.news/boxing-the-carini-khelif-match-scandal-erupts-the-tunisians-dna-has-a-male-chromosome-sport/" title="Boxing, the Carini-Khelif match scandal erupts. The Tunisian's DNA has a male chromosome – Sport”>Imane Khelif, who reluctantly found herself at the center of a gender controversy during the Paris Olympics, has announced a big change for her future. This will no longer be written in the Olympic Games but in professional boxing.
The 25-year-old gold medalist, who is currently preparing a documentary about her life, held a press conference to shed light on the rest of her career: “I will enter the world of professional boxing soon,” she explained, I have many offers. I have not yet decided where I will enter professional boxing, but I will take this step very soon (…) A champion or Olympic champion occupies a place of great importance in the professional world. As Algerians, we want to see our level in the field of professional sport. »
At the same time, the documentary about his life is close to his heart. She said she was hurt by the numerous attacks, including from personalities such as Donald Trump or Elon Musk. “I’m not lying to you, it hit me,” he whispers. It hit me a lot, it hurt me a lot. I can’t describe the fear I had. Thank God, all Algerians and the Arab world knew Imane Khelif, her femininity, her courage, her will. Today the important thing for me is the fact that I have become an example to follow for Algerian youth. »
