Imane Khelif is hitting back at all of her haters who still question her gender identity.
The star boxer has been targeted way too many times in the past and she just wants the world to be more gentle and kind when it comes to her.
The winning Olympic gold medalist took part in a recent press conference to speak about how the entire gender row really tried to overshadow her performance and great talent in the world of sports. But she’s had enough.
She called herself fully qualified to compete in any international tournament and boldly declared herself to be a woman like any other woman.
‘I was born a woman, I lived my entire life as a woman, and I compete as a woman. There should be no doubt about this again!’- she continued.
Imane says she is happy to have delivered consistently great performances against her competitors. And she’s won fair and square. She’s also requested the world to stop abusing and bullying her as there needs to be less hate and more kindness.
As far as her future plans are concerned, she hopes to make it big in the boxing world and will continue to raise her voice against those trying to treat her unfairly. “I have done nothing wrong and I deserve every bit of the success that I have today!”- she declared.
