Imane Khelif Paris Fight Postponed After Left Shoulder Injury
Organizers said a medical exam found a painful left shoulder syndrome and delayed the whole card, including two WBA title bouts.
- On Monday, organizers postponed Olympic champion Imane Khelif's April 23 professional fight against German boxer Julia Igel at Paris's Salle Wagram to an unannounced date.
- A medical examination on Monday revealed a 'painful syndrome in the left shoulder' for Khelif, deeming her condition 'temporarily incompatible with competition.'
- Organizers rescheduled the entire evening, which featured two World Boxing Association title bouts, with ticket holders offered full refunds for the original date.
- Khelif secured Olympic gold during the 2024 Paris Games amid international scrutiny; both she and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting were allowed to compete by the IOC after 2023 World Championships disqualifications.
- World Boxing implemented mandatory genetic testing requirements last August, and Khelif has not competed in World Boxing-sanctioned events since the policy took effect.
