J.K. Rowling, the author of a series of popular children's books, tweeted, "A young female boxer has just had everything she’s worked and trained for snatched away because you allowed a male to get in the ring with her. You’re a disgrace, your ‘safeguarding’ is a joke and #Paris24 will be forever tarnished by the brutal injustice done to Carini."

The match lasted 46 seconds, after which the Italian boxer bowed out.

According to Wikipedia, the boxer in question has never been a man..

Should the Olympics determine gender based on DNA tests or based on a physician's observation of sexual organs? The two tests do not always produce the same result.


It's not quite as dramatic as the 30-second 1986 bout between Tyson and Frazier, which rocketed Tyson into a household name. Even more dramatic, in my opinion, was the 91-second 1988 highly promoted Tyson-Spinks match. Since this a political discussion, let's recall that the Tyson-Spinks match was held in Atlantic City right next to the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. Tyson was paid $22 million for the match. An article before the match..

New York real estate mogul Donald Trump has called a news conference at his Trump Tower in Manhattan for today to announce that the fight between unbeaten heavyweights Mike Tyson and Michael Spinks will be held in Atlantic City, N.J., on Monday, June 27.

The fight, for which Trump says he paid a record site fee of $11 million, will be held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall, which is attached to his Trump Plaza Hotel, and will be televised on a pay-per-view basis.

Trump outbid two Las Vegas hotels, Caesars Palace and the Las Vegas Hilton. The entire deal, however, is contingent upon Tyson defeating Tony Tubbs in Tokyo on March 21.

The site fee is the price paid by a hotel or other facility to the promoter, in this case Don King and Tyson’s managers, for the fight.

Obviously, Trump hopes to make up the difference in his casino, and in food and drinks.
In a burst of exuberance Wednesday, at landing what will certainly be the major boxing event of 1988, Trump went a bit too far when he called Tyson-Spinks “the biggest fight since Ali-Frazier.”

It’s not quite that.
Trump Plaza later fell into bankruptcy.
