Athletistic / Boxing. Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said he did not watch the highly publicized boxing match between Algerian Iman Khelif and Italian Angela Carini at the Olympics. Recall that after 46 seconds of the first round, Carini refused to continue the fight because her opponent was throwing too strong punches.
Khelif had already failed a gender test. She was not allowed to attend the World Championships.
