REDUXX WEEKLY ROUNDUP: August 5 - 13
A female boxer who trained with Imane Khelif has come forward to assert that Khelif "is a man" ... and more news.
Happy Monday, Reduxx Readers!
We are late, but back to get you caught up on all the stories that will make you ask why the hell Imane Khelif hasn’t turned in that gold yet.
It feels like Reduxx is turning into the Olympics Power Hour, but can you blame us? This has been one of the dominant stories of 2024. And it’s all our fault doing.
While we hope to return to our regularly scheduled programming this week (at some point), a story came up that we absolutely couldn’t overlook.
Today, Reduxx spoke with female boxer Joana Nwamerue, a Nigerian-Bulgarian boxing whizkid and former sparring partner of Imane Khelif. Nwamerue is no-holds-barred, and firmly believes, based on her experience with the Algerian, that Khelif is male.
She also recounted a bizarre encounter with the Algerian national team, which confronted her for calling Khelif “a man” during a boxing retreat in Sofia, Bulgaria this past February. In Khelif’s defense, the team claimed that Khelif was simply a woman who had been biologically altered by living in high altitudes.
The reaction we imagine you have right now is certainly the reaction we had, and most definitely the reaction Joana had to that information.
Nwamerue is an incredible woman, and she has a lot more to say about this entire debacle, so make sure you stay tuned. In the interim, read the article here.
Without further ado… on to the news!
