"This is unjust," she yelled.
Carini, a 25-year-old police officer, yanked her hand away from the referee and walked off as the official raised Khelif's hand in the air. She also refused to shake hands with her opponent and fell to her knees on the boxing ring's floor, saying she had never felt such strong blows in a contest before. Her competitor Khelif has already been banned by the International Boxing Association from the 2023 world championships after failing testosterone tests to establish gender qualification.
"I've never taken a punch like that, it's impossible to continue. I'm nobody to say it's illegal. I got into the ring to fight. But I didn't feel like it anymore after the first minute. I started to feel a strong pain in my nose. I didn't give up, but a punch hurt too much so I said enough. I'm leaving with my head held high," Carini said.
"I am a fighter. My father taught me to be a warrior. When I am in the ring, I use that mindset, the mindset of a warrior, a winning mindset. This time I couldn't make it."
She was later taken away for medical assessment to examine the seriousness of her facial injuries which included a bruised nose.
The female boxer said she did not quit the fight as a sign of protest against her rival's inclusion, but that was a decision for the Olympics to consider. "I am not in the position of saying this is right or wrong. I did my job as a boxer, entering the ring and fighting. I didn't manage to, but I am exiting with my head held high and with a broken heart," she said. "I am a mature woman, the ring is my life. I've always been very instinctive, but when I feel something is not going well, it's not a surrender but having the maturity to stop."
Meanwhile, Khelif said: "God is willing me to be golden one." The Algerian Boxing Federation also boasted about the win on Facebook. "Congratulations to the Algerian boxer Iman Khalif, who responds strongly in the ring and qualifies for the quarterfinals, after defeating the Italian Angelina Carini in less than 46 seconds, effortlessly," it said.
Controversial boxing match meets backlash from popular personalities, internet community
Following the scandalous sporting event, where a "mismatch" has been alleged, popular personalities sent in their sentiments via the internet. Riley Gaines, a 12-time All-American and former collegiate swimmer at Kentucky who describes herself as a "leader defending women's single-sex spaces," posted on X that "Men don't belong in women's sports #IStandWithAngelaCarini." X CEO Elon Musk immediately concurred with a resounding "Absolutely!" to her initial social media entry.
In another entry, the swimmer also shared a photo of an emotional Carini on her knees in the ring, calling the moment "heartbreaking." "This photo should haunt the [International Olympic Committee] IOC (but it won't)," Gaines captioned the post.

Famous YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul called the Olympic clash "the purest form of evil unfolding right before your eyes." "A man was allowed to beat up a woman on a global stage, crushing her life's dream while fighting for her deceased father. This delusion must end," he tweeted.
The internet community also blamed the IOC. Former U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss also reacted, saying: "When will this madness stop? Men cannot become women. Why is the British Government not objecting to this?" British Olympic hero Sharron Davies chimed in with: "This is shocking. The IOC is a bloody disgrace. In effect legalizing beating up females. This must stop!!! What the hell's the matter with them?"
Harry Potter author JK Rowling called the match insane and inquired: "What will it take to end this insanity? A female boxer left with life-altering injuries? A female boxer killed?"
