The Algerian will lock horns against Yang Liu of China on Friday night in the final of the women’s welterweight division at Roland Garros. Khelif has yet to lose one round on a judge’s scorecard in her first three fights in Paris, going on the most dominant run of her boxing career while facing an extraordinary amount of scrutiny.
Khelif has dominated all three of her bouts, but she faces her most significant test in Yang, the 2023 world champion and the No. 2 seed in their weight class.
Khelif told SNTV, a sport video partner of The Associated Press, that the wave of hateful scrutiny she has received “harms human dignity,” and she called for an end to bullying athletes. She also said a gold medal would be ”the best response” to the backlash against her.
She has already secured Algeria’s first Olympic medal in women’s boxing. She will attempt to become only her country’s second boxing gold medalist, joining Hocine Soltani (1996).
