Boxing: Imane Khelif’s father: “My child is a girl”

Boxer Imane Khelif has endured a huge storm of hate on social media in recent days.

The reason is that in many places, not least in social media, it has been questioned whether she is really a woman.

    But she is, asserts her father Omar Khelif.

    – My child is a girl. She was raised as a girl. She is a strong girl. I raised her to work hard and to be brave, he says sky news, and continues:

    – She has a strong will to work and train.

    After Algerian Khelif’s victory against Luca Anna Harmoni, Hungary, today, Khelif has secured a medal. This as both semi-final losers receive a bronze medal.
