PARIS − Algerian boxer Imane Khelif will be fighting for Olympic gold Friday night.
Targeted in a “gender eligibility’’ controversy at the Paris Olympics, Khelif continues to thrive inside the boxing ring.
She’s won all three of her bouts in the women’s welterweight division (146 pounds) and faces China’s Liu Yang in the finals at Roland-Garros Stadium.
