Imane Khelif’s mother is standing firm, addressing the critics who claim her daughter shouldn’t have competed in women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics due to gender concerns. The controversy erupted when the International Boxing Association (IBA) declared her ineligible after citing high testosterone levels, casting doubt on her gender.

The story rapidly gained attention on social media, with many questioning the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to allow her participation and celebrate her triumph.

This decision sparked a wave of debates, yet her journey from humble beginnings to Olympic glory remains undeniably inspiring, despite the opposition.

Standing by her in this challenging time are her loving family, dedicated coaches, and the entire Algerian community. Her father provided her birth certificate and passport as proof against the claims, yet the ongoing controversy remains bewildering.

Khelif’s mother, unwavering in her support, insists on her daughter’s identity as female, highlighting the bewildering and sometimes vicious rhetoric directed at their family.

According to her mother, Imane was destined for greatness from birth, destined to bring honor to the family.

She passionately refutes the accusations and emphasizes the baseless nature of the criticism, underlining the unjust treatment her daughter has endured, deciding that it is time to voice out against the critics and advocate for their rights.
