Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori expressed her pride after competing in a "hard fight" in the women's 66kg quarter-final, where she lost to Imane Khelif, one of the boxers at the centre of a gender row at the Olympics.

The participation of Khelif and fellow boxer Lin Yu-ting at Paris 2024 has led to scrutiny after they were disqualified from last year's World Championships for failing to meet gender eligibility criteria.
