It has been a Games full of controversy, with Khelif facing questions over whether she should even be in Paris after the International Boxing Association disqualified her from last year’s Women’s World Championships, claiming the 25-year-old had failed a gender eligibility test.
Khelif has been allowed to compete at these Games and has not been particularly troubled in her three fights up to this stage.
She now attempts to become Algeria’s first ever female boxing gold medallist, and goes up against Yang Liu of China.
“I am focused,” Khelif said.
“I am here for a good performance and my dream. I will give everything I have for the final.”
