World Boxing’s newly enforced gender eligibility rules have cracked open a can of worms that boxing may not be able to close again. The policy, introduced in May 2025 and applied for the first time ahead of the Liverpool 2025 World Championships, has already resulted in two high-profile absences. World Boxing ruled out Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting from competing after failing to pass the mandatory chromosomal tests now required to enter elite amateur boxing tournaments. The organization insists the changes are necessary to protect female boxers, ensure safety, and provide a level playing field. A Deep-Rooted Problem In its official statement, after sending home the French team under the same criteria, World Boxing outlined its position. “World Boxing’s policy on gender eligibility, which includes mandatory sex testing, is designed to ensure the safety of all participants and deliver a competitive level playing field. “Since World Boxing first announced (May 30, 2025) its intention to introduce mandatory sex testing to determine the chromosomal sex of a male or female at birth, the organization has made it clear that testing will be the responsibility of National Federations (NFs) as they have the closest links and most access to their boxers and are best placed to manage the testing process. “They also oversee the entry process to determine which boxers need to be tested and when. “It is very disappointing for the boxers that some National Federations have not been able to complete this process in time, which means that some athletes have not made it through the sports entry process for the World Boxing Championships.” Pandora’s Box is Open On the omission of France, Khelif, and Lin, World Boxing would not comment. “World Boxing does not comment on individual cases and is completely focused on delivering a successful World Boxing Championships for the 540 boxers (327 men and 213 women) that have successfully passed through the sport entry process, making this the biggest ever boxing event ever held in the UK and one of the largest of all time anywhere in the world. “We wish all of the boxers the very best of luck and look forward to working with our partners to deliver a world-class competition that will provide a fantastic showcase for the sport of Olympic-style boxing.” The governing body’s stance has exposed a deep-rooted problem in the sport. By stating that eligibility depends on proving the absence of a male chromosome, World Boxing has indirectly confirmed suspicions long held within the boxing community, that many past medalists and champions may have carried Y chromosomes, effectively meaning that male athletes (under World Boxing policy) competed in female categories for years. That uncomfortable reality undermines not only the legitimacy of previous tournaments but also raises questions about safety in a sport where size, strength, and power directly impact outcomes. World Boxing may have closed the door on future controversy by drawing a hard line in Liverpool, but in doing so, it has opened Pandora’s box on everything that has gone before.
