NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Algeria's Imane Khelif was disqualified hours before her gold medal bout at the women's world championships in New Delhi after she failed to meet the eligibility criteria, the International Boxing Association (IBA) said on Sunday.
The 23-year-old was scheduled to meet Yang Liu in the 66kg division final but Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng, who lost to Khelif in the semi-finals, will fight the Chinese instead.
