Olympic boxing champion Khelif sets Paris fight 2 years after Games focus

Olympic boxing champion Imane Khelif will return to the ring on December 15 in Paris at the Maison de la Mutualite, two years after winning gold at the 2024 Paris Games. Her professional bout will be against undefeated fighter Clarida Sarabia, having been delayed from April due to a left shoulder injury sustained in training. Khelif gained widespread attention at the Paris Olympics alongside Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting amid controversy sparked by their disqualification from the 2023 IBA World Championships over unspecified eligibility tests.
