The viral video of Angela Carini crying after her match has sparked widespread debate and backlash over Khelif’s eligibility due to her gender. The controversy arose because Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 Women’s World Championships after failing testosterone and gender eligibility tests. However, Khelif was one of two boxers eligible to compete at the Paris Olympics.
Amid the controversy, WWE superstar Logan Paul decided to share his thoughts in a now-deleted tweet. Paul expressed his belief that the boxing match was the "purest form of evil," which quickly sparked backlash from fans. Paul later acknowledged on X (formerly Twitter) that he may have spread misinformation, along with many others on the platform. Following his admission, speculation arose that WWE may have contacted him regarding his controversial tweet.
‼️ OOPSIES ‼️ I may be guilty of spreading misinformation along with the entire app. Although she was previously disqualified for failing a "gender test" and having XY chromosomes, some sources say Imane Khelif was born biologically female. I stand by my opinion… https://t.co/oVfWARylCJ pic.twitter.com/S2QvHPHwWg
