Khelif being unable to participate in the 2025 Women’s Boxing World Championships after Elon Musk requested IBAIBA to conduct a DNA test

\

Khelif, a promising boxer, will be unable to participate in the 2025 Women’s Boxing World Championships due to a controversial request made by Elon Musk.

Musk reportedly asked the International Boxing Association (IBA) to conduct a DNA test on Khelif before her participation in the event.

This unexpected request has sparked widespread debate within the sports community.

Khelif, who has earned recognition for her exceptional talent, was shocked by the demand, which she claims is an unwarranted invasion of privacy.

The DNA test was proposed to confirm her gender eligibility under the IBA’s regulations, which has raised questions about fairness and discrimination.

Many have criticized Musk’s involvement, arguing that his intervention could set a dangerous precedent for athletes in all sports.

The IBA has yet to make an official statement on whether the DNA test will proceed or not.

However, the situation has already caused an outcry from advocacy groups that support the rights of female athletes.

These groups argue that such measures could unfairly target athletes and could lead to further scrutiny of women in sports.

She has vowed to challenge any decision that could undermine her right to compete based on her skill and hard work, rather than arbitrary tests.
