“Horrific and poisonous” | Presenter receives death threats over gender-related boxing feud
Laura Woods, the British television presenter for Discovery+ and TNT Sports, has revealed she has received death threats after raising questions about boxer Imane Khelif's participation in the Olympic Games.
The veteran sports presenter took to X/Twitter to voice her support for a Daily Telegraph article that claimed Khelif's fights had "tarnished" the Olympics and put other athletes at risk.
The Algerian boxer was cleared by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to compete despite being disqualified from last year's Women's World Championships after tests showed she had "male karyotype" chromosomes. The IOC stands by its decision.
