The Algerian was disqualified from the Women’s World Boxing Championships last year after she didn’t meet the gender eligibility criteria for the tournament.
Last week, Khelif beat Italian boxer Angela Carini after just 46 seconds, which sparked major debate about her inclusion in the games.
On Tuesday she faces Janjaem Suwannapheng of Thailand for a place in the final and a chance at winning gold for her nation.
And Suwannapheng has now responded to the speculation about her next fight amidst all of the ongoing controversy.

Khaosod English reports her stating: “I’ll fight with all I’ve got. I’ve looked into it too, about her hormones, and I know she’s lost to female boxers before, but that was a long time ago. But if we meet again, I’m not afraid because we’re evenly matched. I’ve prepared my body well too, trained a lot. I just think, no matter how strong or tough, we’re both human, we both have two fists. Having come this far, I want to go all the way to the gold medal.”
Seriously, it’s not about you thinking you can do it! It’s about xx Chromosomes. May your butt get kicked and then realize “geez, maybe I should fighting a woman. ” Stupid comment!
The fact alone… That the Olympics allow these trans gendered men compete in the Olympics speek volumes!! I feel, and it’s just my opinion, but I feel that the United States should pull out of participation in any event that is allowing this to take place. And the transgendered men competing against the women? From me to them? Your sad! Sad and pathetic to feel as if you have accomplished anything out of competing with a real legit female. You give new meaning to the words… Piece of shit!
Shame she isn’t a transgender maki gnyour entire statement useless drivel. Grow the fuck up.
