Italian boxer speaks out over online abuse since Olympic bout against Khelif

Italian boxer Angela Carini quit her opening bout after 46 seconds at the Paris Olympics against Imane Khelif due to pain from punches.
This controversial choice ignited a broad debate about Khelif's eligibility to participate, drawing reactions from President Trump and Italy's Prime Minister Meloni.
After the match, Carini faced harsh criticism online, with some messages labeling her as lacking bravery and bringing disgrace to the Italian team, which she revealed in an Instagram video.
Carini acknowledged that her statements would not transform society or inspire greater kindness, and she reflected on the quiet challenges she faced while working to rebuild her boxing career following the events in Paris.
In December, Carini made a comeback to boxing by securing her eighth national championship and earning a gold medal at the World Boxing Cup held in Poland, indicating progress after her performance at the 2024 Olympics.
