Boxing body offers prize money to beaten Italian amid gender row

Carini stopped her fight against Algeria's Imane Khelif after receiving two strong punches to the face, refused to shake hands with her opponent and then collapsed to the canvas sobbing. But the bout sparked controversy as Khelif had been disqualified by the IBA during last year's world championship after failing unspecified gender eligibility tests. There is no suggestion that Khelif, who has fought on the women's circuit for years, including in the Tokyo Olympics, identifies as anything other than a woman.
