PARIS (Reuters) -The Hungarian Boxing Federation has contacted the country's Olympic Committee (MOB) and the IOC to object to Luca Anna Hamori's fight with Imane Khelif as a gender dispute rages, the governing body said on Friday.

Hamori is due to face Khelif, a silver medallist at the 2022 worlds, in the Olympic quarter-finals on Saturday.
