SPORTS SHORTS 288: WORLD BOXING SAYS LIN YU-TING IS ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE IN THE WORLD BOXING CUP

Lin Yu-ting.
Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting was eligible to compete in the World Boxing Cup in the United Kingdom, the event’s organizer said, one day after Lin withdrew because it allegedly questioned her gender.

“World Boxing’s current eligibility policy does not prevent Lin Yu-ting from taking part in the World Boxing Cup,” the boxing federation released a statement answering the comments from the Sports Administration.

* * *

“Selection decisions are made by national federations and the boxer was not entered in the event,” the statement said. While the World Boxing considers the safety of athletes as “absolutely paramount,” it also recognizes that “gender clarity is an extremely complex issue with significant welfare concerns,” it stated.

* * *

World Boxing’s comments came one day after an eligibility issue forced Lin to withdraw from the World Boxing Cup Finals in Sheffield, England, which are being held from November 27-30. The World Boxing Cup Finals would have been Lin’s first competition since winning the gold medal in the women’s 57kg category at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, where she was the subject of a gender eligibility controversy.

* * *

World Boxing did not have “a clear policy and rules like the IOC to protect athletes, nor comprehensive information or procedures to ensure confidentiality for us to submit Lin’s medical records,” the Sports Administration was quoted.

* * *

Taiwan joined World Boxing, which was founded in April last year, through the Chinese Taipei Boxing Association in mid-August. The Taiwanese delegation to the World Boxing Cup in Sheffield, attended by boxers from more than 20 countries, included Lin and Tokyo Games bronze medalist Huang Hsiao-wen.

* * *

Lin was a two-time International Boxing Association (IBA) world champion in 2018 and 2022, but was disqualified over her gender eligibility after winning a bronze in the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in March 2023.

Boxing History: November 30, 1956. Floyd Patterson won the vacant world heavyweight championship over Archie Moore. He beat Moore by a knockout in five rounds, becoming the youngest world heavyweight champion in history, at the age of 21 years, 10 months, 3 weeks and 5 days. He was the first Olympic gold medalist to win a professional heavyweight title.

* * *

On November 22, 1986, Mike Tyson fought for his first title fight against Trevor Berbick for the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight championship. Tyson won the title by TKO in the second round, and at the age of 20 years and 4 months became the youngest heavyweight champion in history, breaking Patterson's record..
