Athletistic/Boxing. International Boxing Association (IBA) President Oumar Kremlev expressed his dissatisfaction with the victory of Algerian boxer Iman Khelif in the weight category up to 66 kg at the 2024 Olympic Games in a conversation with HE.

“I was very unpleasant and ashamed. How could this have happened? We constantly talk about gender equality and women’s rights, condemning men’s violence against women, but Thomas Bach and his team have now acknowledged this violence. This is the first step towards not noticing the negative consequences. Many associations and countries have united to put an end to this chaos. The main step is the departure of Thomas Bach. After his departure, everything should change,” Kremlev said.

Khelif won the final of the women’s boxing tournament in the weight category up to 66 kg, beating China’s Yang Liu by unanimous decision (5:0).
