Following the controversial match against Italy's Angela Carini, where Algerian boxer Khelif emerged victorious after Carini withdrew allegedly due to intense pain from a powerful punch, the Algerian boxer is now preparing for her next challenge at the Paris Olympics.
Imane Khelif is set to face Hungary's Luca Anna Hamori in the 66kg quarterfinals this Saturday -- August 3. This upcoming bout is crucial for Khelif, as a win would secure her an Olympic medal. The boxing match is slated to start at 5:22 PM CET.

Khelif's journey to this quarter-final has been marked by controversy. In her last match, Angela Carini made the difficult decision to withdraw just 46 seconds in, citing intense pain from a punch to the nose.
Despite widespread reports claiming Carini suffered a bloodied chin, the Italian boxer clarified that it was the overwhelming pain that led her to stop the fight. The decision sparked a wave of reactions, with many on social media supporting Carini and questioning the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision to allow Khelif to compete.
This controversy is part of a broader debate in the boxing community, especially concerning gender eligibility and fairness. The International Boxing Association (IBA) had previously disqualified Khelif from the 2023 World Championships due to eligibility concerns, a decision criticized by the IOC as arbitrary.
As Khelif steps into the ring again, this backdrop adds another layer of tension to her Olympic journey, with all eyes on whether she can secure a victory and move past the ongoing scrutiny.
