PARIS − Algerian boxer Imane Khelif will be fighting for Olympic gold Friday night.
Targeted in a “gender eligibility’’ controversy at the Paris Olympics, Khelif continues to thrive inside the boxing ring.
She’s won all three of her bouts in the women’s welterweight division (146 pounds) and faces China’s Liu Yang in the finals at Roland-Garros Stadium.
Khelif, 25, won her opening bout when Italy’s Angela Carini quit 46 seconds into the match in the round of 16. She won on points by unanimous decision in the quarterfinals against Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori and in the semifinals against Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng.
China’s Yang, 32, won her first two bouts on points by unanimous decision and won her semifinal bout by split decision, 4-1.
