As the paper informs: the Boxing Association also decided that
the Italian Angela Carini, who was knocked out by Helif in 46 seconds, receives the reward of the Olympic champions.
Half of this one hundred thousand dollars belongs to the athlete, while their national association receives 25 thousand dollars, and their coach receives another 25 thousand dollars, the paper explained.
The competitor from Algiers, who also has a Y chromosome, became the women's Olympic champion
The president of the IBA does not understand "why women's boxing is being killed"
Regarding Carini's case, Umar Kremlev, the president of the IBA, said: "I couldn't bear to watch her cry. Believe me, I am absolutely not indifferent to such situations, and
I can assure the female boxing community that we will protect all boxers from such situations.”
He then asked the question
"I simply don't understand why the leaders of the IOC are killing women's boxing. For the sake of women's safety, those who test positive for gender differences have no business in the ring against them."
- stated Kremlev, who added that the case of the Uzbek Sitora Turdibekova, who lost to the other biologically male, Taiwan's Lin Ju-Ting, in the first round at the Paris Olympics, will also be resolved.
The performance of Luca Hámori was also recognized
The IBA can also award Luca Hámori, who finished fifth in the women's 66-kilogram weight group at the Paris Olympics - who fought hard against Helif - the gold medalist prize, which is 50,000 dollars.
Unlike the International Olympic Committee, the IBA is of the opinion that Imane Helif could not have participated in the women's field of the Olympics.
Remember: after the match, which caused significant media coverage, it was announced that the Hungarian athlete's monetary reward for scoring points will be supplemented by the amount due to the bronze medalists.
