Riley Gaines, Musk Speak Out Against Olympic Women’s Boxing Controversy

🏅Riley Gaines, known for being vocal against biological males competing in women’s sports, weighed in on a contoversial boxing match at the 🏅Paris Olympics.

And she had billionaire 👤Elon Musk agreeing with her.

The boxing match in question involved Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Italian boxer Italian boxer Angela Carini, which lasted only 46 seconds in the ring, but will be a topic of conversation a lot longer, as IJR reported on.

Carini stopped the fight against Khelif, who had previously been deemed to have XY chromosomes and previously barred from 🥊Women’s Boxing bouts, as IBA president Umar Kremlev previously said.

Carini, who was fighting against Khelif in the women’s 66-kilogram division Thursday, said the punches from her opponent were too much to handle.

“I got into the ring to fight,” she said. “I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much and so I said enough.”

Both Gaines and Musk went on X, formerly Twitter, to express their thoughts on the Olympic-sized controversy.
