Female boxer quits Olympic match after being brutalized by deviant biological male!
PARIS, France (PNN) - August 1, 2024 - A two-time Olympic gold medalist in women's boxing called an Olympic boxing match between a deviant biological male from Algeria and a female Italian boxer "scary".
Angela Carini ended the match against Imane Khelif after 46 seconds following a series of hard blows to the head that left the Italian boxer with a broken nose. Claressa Shields, who won gold medals in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, said on Amerika's Newsroom that the Olympic committees "dropped the ball".
"I couldn't imagine getting inside the ring with a biological man," Shields told Amerika's Newsroom co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. "Even though I sparred against a man, but fighting for the Olympics is way bigger than that and so much more on the line to have to go with an opposite gender. Women fight against women and men fight against men, so, I don't see how the Olympics could have done something like this."
"You know, I grew up in a gym sparring against a lot of guys and stuff but every fighter - woman fighter does not do that," Shields said after Hemmer asked if she had seen video of the match. "So, part of her it did seem it was much bigger and stronger, and it is scary. I don't know how old she is, but still… when you are born with bigger muscles and neck, and you've grown up to be a man. You know, he didn't change genders when he was a kid. So, it is, to me, it is just unfair, and I just can't believe that it is being done and I just couldn't imagine it happening to me."
Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) because he was "found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors," according to a statement by the IBA released Wednesday. The organization's statement also raised concerns about the "inconsistent application of eligibility criteria" and expressed concerns about "competitive fairness and athletes' safety."
"It is very hard to qualify for the Olympics, you have to go through so many different international tournaments, country tournaments, to even make it to the Olympics. So, for me, I can understand her devastation, but it shouldn't be ruined due to a man, and I think that the Olympics definitely dropped the ball, you know," Shields said.
"Listen, I don't have anything against transgender women or transgender men," Shield said. "All I'm saying is men should fight against men, women should fight against women and transgenders should fight against transgenders. That is how I fell, I will stand with that. I'm not homophobic or anything like that or against the gay community, but that's not right."
