Boxer Left in Tears After Brutal Defeat by 'Failed Gender Test' Opponent.

Uzbekistan's Sitora Turdibekova suffered a heartbreaking loss in the Olympic boxing ring, leaving her in tears after a brutal encounter with Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting.

The match, a 57-kilogram featherweight contest, saw Turdibekova on the receiving end of heavy blows from her opponent. Ultimately, she was defeated on points, leaving the ring visibly distraught.

What makes this match particularly controversial is the fact that Lin Yu-ting is one of two boxers who were disqualified from the Women's Boxing World Championships last year due to failing a gender eligibility test. The other boxer involved in the controversy is Algeria's Imane Khelif.

Lin, a two-time World and Asian Championships gold medalist with an impressive record of 40 wins and 14 losses, was considered the top seed in the event. Notably, Turdibekova declined to shake hands with Lin after the match concluded.

The controversy surrounding Lin's participation comes just a day after Algeria's Imane Khelif won her first fight in the women's welterweight event amid a similar eligibility row. Khelif's opponent, Italy's Carini, was forced to abandon the bout after being knocked down twice in the opening round. The incident left Carini in tears.
