Algerian boxer Iman Khalif has won the gold medal by defeating China’s Yu Yang in the women’s boxing finals at the Paris Olympics.

She was swaying in the ring before defeating Chinese boxer Yu Yang, and as the bell rang, the two boxers hugged each other.

He said while talking to the BBC that this is my dream. I am very happy. This moment is perfect. Worked for eight years, did not sleep at all. I want to thank all the people in Algeria. I am very happy for my performance. I am a strong woman.

25-year-old Algerian boxer Iman Khalif has been questioned about his ‘eligibility’ for the Paris Olympics and there has been a debate among users on social media regarding his gender. It was said about her that she is trans, so someone was saying that she is boxing in the disguise of a man.

BBC had a special conversation with Iman Khalif’s family, who said that “Iman is a girl from birth and she has lived her life like a girl.”
