Imane Khelif will fight in Los Angeles, Algerian boxer: We are not afraid of
Imane Khelif

Imane Khelif has confirmed that she is ready to travel to Los Angeles in 2028 to defend the gold medal she won in Paris in the Olympic welterweight tournament.

"I can't wait to go to Los Angeles 2028 to defend the Paris gold," the Algerian boxer said during an interview with the British ITV, after the International Olympic Committee announced that boxing would be included in the program of the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

"What do I think about Trump's anti-transgender policies? I am not transgender - she emphasized -. This issue does not affect me and does not scare me."

The President of the United States recently issued an executive order banning transgender athletes from participating in women's competitions and then another against the presence of transgender people in the military, which was blocked by a federal judge in Washington.

The Khelif case and the great controversies

Khelif was at the center of a major controversy over her gender identity during the last Olympic Games, after she was disqualified from the Women's World Boxing Championships a year earlier. The International Boxing Association (IBA) claimed that the athlete had undergone a DNA test, which showed the presence of XY chromosomes.

However, the International Olympic Committee denied this claim, explaining that the disqualification was related to high levels of testosterone in the blood.

During the Olympics, through President Bach, it was reconfirmed that Khelif was a woman in every respect.

The IBA, using the same arguments, also excluded it from the 2025 World Championship.

The Algerian boxer had filed a lawsuit against those who had labeled her as transgender, including Elon Musk and JK Rowling, who ignited a hate campaign against her on social media.

"As we say in Algeria, he who has nothing to hide has nothing to fear.

The truth became clear at the Paris Olympics: the injustice was revealed and the truth was recognized by the International Olympic Committee.

"I consider myself a girl, like all the others. I was born a woman and I have always lived as a woman," the 25-year-old concluded.
