An Algerian boxer with male chromosomes lost to an Italian boxer in an Olympic boxing match on Thursday after delivering a devastating blow to her face in a brief 46-second bout.
Winning boxer Imane Khelif has an XY chromosome, according to the International Boxing Association’s 2023 eligibility test, which disqualified her from that year’s World Championships.

Normally, males have XY chromosomes and females XX chromosomes, but a person born with a disorder of sexual development can have both male and female sex characteristics.
For example, a person with Swyer syndrome may have XY chromosomes and female genitalia. Khelif has never publicly identified as transgender or disclosed any sexual developmental disorder, so the reason for the test result is unclear.
Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting, who was also disqualified from the 2023 World Championships for having an XY chromosome, will also compete against women at the 2024 Olympics.
Both Khelif and Lin competed in the 2020 Olympics, before those tests were published.

Angela Carini, who lost the match against Khelif, left the ring crying and refused to shake Khelif’s hand. According to him New York Postwhile still in the ring, shouted “this is unfair.”
In a post-fight interview, Carini said he had “never been hit so hard in my life,” according to the Post. According to Yahoo SportsCarini apologized to his country after the 46-second fight.
“I entered the ring to fight,” Carini said, according to Yahoo. “I didn’t give up, but one blow hurt too much and I said enough there. “I leave with my head held high.”
The article also reported that Carini’s trainer, Emanuel Renzini, said after the fight that many people had blocked her from competing in the fight, telling her: “Please don’t go, don’t go. It’s a man. “It’s dangerous for you.”
Mary Rice Hasson, director of the Person and Identity Project at The Conservative Center for Ethics and Public Policywho told CNA — the English-language agency EWTN News — that “a disorder of sexual development does not make a person” not a man” and “genetics do not lie.”
“There is a decision from [Comité Olímpico Internacional] “It is unconscionable to allow men who identify as ‘women’ to participate in women’s sports, especially a brutal sport like boxing,” Hasson said. “The Italian boxer stopped the fight because she felt her life was in danger, after being beaten by the Algerian boxer in less than a minute,” he said.
Hasson said the case “shows on the world stage, the ridiculous nature of the ‘transgender’ hoax,” adding that “men and women are biologically different from conception, and sex cannot change.”
Likewise, he said the committee’s “sensitivity” violates “the true Olympic spirit of fair competition.” [y] …degrades and endangers female competitors.”
Former swimmer Riley Gaines, who competed against biologically male transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in college, said in post on that the Olympic fight is “glorified male violence against women.”
“Call me crazy, but it seems like women don’t want to be interrupted by a man while the world watches and applauds,” Gaines said.
Khelif’s next Olympic match is scheduled for Saturday against Hungarian boxer Luca Anna Hamori. Lin’s first fight is scheduled for this Friday against Uzbek boxer Sitora Turdibekova.
