Gone In 46 Seconds: A Boxing Gender-Bender

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who had previously been banned from competing, having been deemed a 'biological male', was accepted as a female at the Paris Olympics; 'she' made short work of an Italian woman boxer, Angela Carini, in one of the most controversial Olympic bouts ever.

The fight took 46 seconds in which the Algerian delivered four big punches and several smaller ones that had blood spatter onto the Italian's shorts; the latter threw her helmet onto the floor as she collapsed on her knees and broke into tears. Disgusted, she abandoned her fight and refused the customary handshake. With that, Khelif advanced to the quarterfinals of the women's 66kg category.
