Olympic champion Imane Khelif has said she is willing to undergo sex testing in order to return to boxing ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The 2024 Olympic gold medallist filed an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against World Boxing’s decision but a hearing on that case is still pending. On Thursday, Khelif told CNN she had the “highest confidence in the Olympic committee” when it comes to gender eligibility in sport. World Boxing was set up last year and granted provisional recognition to run the sport at future Games. The SRY gene is involved in male-typical sex development and is found in the Y chromosome.
