Statement from World Boxing following reports in the French media about French female boxers at the World Boxing Championships PhilBoxing.com Fri, 05 Sep 2025 “World Boxing’s policy on gender eligibility, which includes mandatory sex testing, is designed to ensure the safety of all participants and deliver a competitive level playing field. “Since World Boxing first announced (May 30, 2025) its intention to introduce mandatory sex testing to determine the chromosomal sex of a male or female at birth, the organization has made it clear that testing will be the responsibility of National Federations (NFs) as they have the closest links and most access to their boxers and are best placed to manage the testing process. They also oversee the entry process for boxers to know which boxers need to be tested and when. “It is very disappointing for the boxers that some National Federations have not been able to complete this process in time which means that some athletes have not made it through the sports entry process for the World Boxing Championships. “World Boxing does not comment on individual cases and is completely focused on delivering a successful World Boxing Championships for the 540 boxers (327 men and 213 women) that have successfully passed through the sport entry process, making this the biggest ever boxing event ever held in the UK and one of the largest of all time anywhere in the world. “We wish all of the boxers the very best of luck and look forward to working with our partners to deliver a world class competition that will provide a fantastic showcase for the sport of Olympic-style boxing.”  |
