During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Italian boxer Angela Carini faced Imane Khelif of Algeria in the women's 66kg preliminary round. The match ended abruptly when Carini abandoned the fight just 46 seconds into the bout. The reasons for Carini's decision to abandon the fight were not explicitly detailed in the reports, but it resulted in Khelif advancing to the next round.

This event followed a period of controversy regarding gender eligibility in the sport, as Khelif had previously been disqualified from a world championship due to failing a gender test but was cleared to compete in the Olympics after complying with all necessary regulations
