PARIS: World Boxing announced on Friday it will introduce mandatory gender testing to determine the eligibility of male and female athletes wanting to take part in its competitions.
The world body said it was introducing the policy after the furore surrounding boxers including women’s gold medallist Imane Khelif of Algeria in Paris Olympics. World Boxing said it had informed the Alge-rian Boxing Federation that Khelif would have to undergo the test if she wanted to compete at the Eindhoven Box Cup in the Netherlands on June 5-10.
