Women’s Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif has taken over headlines after making Italian boxer Angela Carini quit 46 seconds into the match after two punches.
Many online have claimed that Khelif is a transgender woman despite never identifying as such and having always competed in women’s events. Even big-time celebrities and athletes have joined in on the conversation, including Logan Paul.
