Italy’s Angela Carini quit 46 seconds into her Olympic boxing match with Imane Khelif on Thursday 1 July, after the Algerian – who failed a gender eligibility test last year – landed the first significant punch. After an early pause in the fight, due to Carini needing to adjust her head guard, Khelif landed a clean right hand. Seconds later, Carini motioned to her team and opted against continuing, with the referee waving off the contest.
