Sharron Davies, Liz Truss and JK Rowling’s Olympic FURY as female boxer loses to ‘biological male’

Olympian Sharron Davies has blasted organisers of the Paris games for ‘allowing women to be beaten up by men’ after a boxing match between a ‘biological male’ and female fighter ended in just 46 seconds. 

Italian Angela Carini threw in the towel after just two punches from her opponent Imane Khelif – who was banned from the world championships after being deemed ‘biologically male’. 

WHAT DAVIES SAID

GB swimming hero Davies has now lashed out at the International Olympics Committee (IOC) for allowing the fight, raging: ‘This is shocking. The IOC are a bloody disgrace. In effect legalising beating up females. This must stop!!! What the hell’s the matter with them?’

She was joined by former Prime Minister Liz Truss, who wrote on X: ‘When will this madness stop? Men cannot become women. Why is the British Government not objecting to this?’

ROWLING REACTS

While Harry Potter author JK Rowling branded the contest ‘insanity’. In a post yesterday, the gender-critical author wrote: ‘What will it take to end this insanity? A female boxer left with life-altering injuries? A female boxer killed?’

Posting a video of the fight today, Rowling added: ‘Watch this (whole thread), then explain why you’re OK with a man beating a woman in public for your entertainment. This isn’t sport. From the bullying cheat in red all the way up to the organisers who allowed this to happen, this is men revelling in their power over women.’

HELPLESS CARINI

Beaten boxer Carini, 25, wept as she fell to her knees after the farcical contest as the Italian police officer yelled: ‘This is unjust.’ 

After the match was stopped, the referee raised Khelif’s hand in the air. But a visibly furious Carini – who is a police officer in Italy – yanked her own hand away from the fight official and stormed off.

Ignoring the Algerian, the Italian fighter, 25, then plunged to her knees and burst into tears as she said she had never felt such strong blows in a contest before.
