She was ruled eligible, however, to compete in Paris, a competition run by the IOC, after the Olympic body stripped the IBA of international recognition last year over issues related to governance and finance. "I put an end to the match because after the second blow, after years of experience in the ring and a life of fighting, I felt a strong pain in my nose," she said."I said: 'That's enough' because … I could not bring the match to an end. So I thought, maybe it's better to put an end to the match."WATCH l Wyatt Sanford wins, will end Canada's men's boxing medal drought:Wyatt Sanford of Kennetcook, N.S.

The Algerian then won silver at the 2022 worlds, and was about to compete in the final again a year later at the championships when the IBA issued its disqualification over what Algerian media reported were elevated testosterone levels just before the gold medal match.The IOC decision caused a stir before the Games, with some warning of safety concerns for the boxers' opponents.
