The Hungarian football federation has clashed with the IOC over the IOC’s decision to allow Algerian boxer Imane Khelif to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she was defeated in the quarterfinals.

The men’s talent storm continues in women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics, with Hungarian boxer Anna Luca Hamori set to face Khelif on Saturday.
