International Boxing Association (IBA) president Umar Kremlev has urged Algerian boxer Imane Khelif to return the gold medal won at the 2024 Paris Olympics to the rightful winner, amid a gender-eligibility row.
Khelif won the gold medal in the women’s 66 kg (welterweight) event at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The athlete’s eligibility sparked controversy after the IBA barred Khelif from the 2023 World Championships for failing a chromosome-based gender verification test.
