UFC’s Sean Strickland Goes Scorched Earth on Boxer Who Brutalized Female Opponent – ‘Such an Utter Disgrace’

The 2024 Paris Olympics are facing significant ‌controversy following a women’s boxing match involving Algerian ⁣boxer Imane Khelif and Italy’s Angela Carini. Khelif was initially criticized for her participation, with‍ former UFC champion Sean Strickland publicly expressing his outrage on social media. The uproar stems from allegations regarding Khelif’s gender identity, as she was rumored ⁢to be‍ transgender. However, she ‍has a rare medical condition known ‍as Differences of Sexual Development (DSD), which complicates her classification.

Despite being previously disqualified by the International Boxing Association,‌ the​ International Olympic Committee allowed her to compete, leading to further criticism from various figures,⁤ including Strickland, who emphasized the advantages that someone with⁣ male physical attributes may have in women’s sports. Strickland and ⁣others argue that competing​ against ​women imposes safety risks and undermines fair competition. In essence, the situation highlights the‌ ongoing debate‍ surrounding gender identity, inclusivity, and fairness in sports, ⁤particularly combat sports where physical advantages play a crucial role.


The 2024 Paris Olympics continue to be a source of controversy due to Thursday’s events, which featured a women’s boxing match between Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Italy’s Angela Carini.

In response many in the sports world spoke out, condemning Khelif’s ability to box Carini — including former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland, who took to X to vent his rage.

Where is the controversy over Khelif’s boxing Carini coming from?

Khelif was initially perceived to be transgender.

However, upon further investigation, the situation was not so simple as Khelif has been diagnosed with a rare medical condition, Differences of Sexual Development.

The Cleveland Clinic defined the condition: “Disorders of sexual development are conditions where a person’s reproductive organs and genitals are ‘mismatched’ at birth. Examples include male chromosomes (XY) and genitalia that appears female (vulva) or female chromosomes (XX) and genitalia that appears male (penis). Some people with DSDs have characteristics of both sexes.”

While the International Boxing Association previously disqualified Khelif, the International Olympic Committee gave the green light to the bout.

Anyone familiar with Strickland knows he never holds back as indicated by an X post made on Thursday where he said the sitiuation was, “Such an utter disgrace.”

As the specifics of the situation were made public, Strickland preceded to post a video in which he elaborated on why he still disapproved of Khelif’s inclusion in the women’s division.

WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that may offend some readers.

“We know this boxer failed a gender test. We know that this boxer was not tested for her/his gender in the Olympics. We know the Olympics gender test consists of, ‘Hey, what does your passport say?’ And you can’t blame us for being skeptical of the Olympics after they just f***ing shove this transgender f***ing cesspool down our f***ing throats.”

Strickland then gave Khelif “the benefit of the doubt. Let’s just say that, yes, you did fail a gender test, and yes, you do have male chromosomes, and yes, you were born a woman, and you claim to be a woman.”

But — as Strickland said in conclusion — Khelif could have chosen any other path in life but chose to box women.

To be sure, Stickland is still correct in recognizing the problem in having Khelif compete against women.

As Reuters explained, a female with XY (male) chromosomes still presents a danger in women’s sports. “Women’s sports categories exist in most sports in recognition of the clear advantage that going through male puberty gives an athlete.”

“That advantage is not just through higher testosterone levels but also in muscle mass, skeletal advantage and faster twitch muscle. In combat sports such as boxing, this can be a serious safety issue.”

Strickland and other critics, like author J.K. Rowling, still have firm ground to stand on in criticizing Khelif.

Someone has a rare medical condition that grants physical advantages afforded to a man and proceeds to make the choice to pursue a career that involves beating women — it just isn’t fair.
