World Boxing

World Boxing is the governing body for Olympic-level boxing. It has recently been in the news due to disputes surrounding the sex eligibility of athletes, specifically Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan and Imane Khelif of Algeria. Lin Yu-ting was cleared to return to competition at the Asian Boxing Championships following a review by World Boxing. Imane Khelif has expressed willingness to undergo genetic testing by the IOC to participate in future competitions, including the 2028 Olympics. These cases highlight the organization's role in navigating complex issues related to athlete eligibility and fairness within the sport. The outcomes of these reviews and the willingness of athletes to undergo testing demonstrate the ongoing efforts to ensure fair competition and address concerns about biological sex in boxing.
