What time does Imane Khelif fight? How to watch boxing finals at Paris Olympics

Imane Khelif returns to the ring tonight and faces the fight of her life when she battles China’s Yang Liu for gold at the Olympics .

The bout will conclude an intense fortnight for the Algerian at Paris 2024 following scrutiny after the IBA, which is not running boxing at the Olympics, announced she had failed a gender test at last year’s world championships.

The drama started after Angela Carini withdrew 46 seconds into her fight with Khelif , and further victories against Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori, amid loud support from a boisterous contingent of Algerian fans , and Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng have set up a crowning moment.
