But organisers of the World Boxing Cup Finals in Britain say she was not entered in the competition. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Chinese Taipei boxer Chen Nien-chin, who was at the center of a gender controversy at the Tokyo Olympics, has withdrawn from the women's flyweight competition. The issue arose when her opponent, India's Nitu Ghanghas, raised concerns about Chen's gender, leading to a verification process by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Despite being cleared to compete, Chen decided to pull out of the event, citing the emotional toll of the ordeal.

This incident has sparked discussions on gender verification in sports, with critics arguing that such checks are invasive and discriminatory.
