Angela Carini is an Italian boxer who quit her match in the Paris Olympics just seconds into the fight. 

The reason she provided for quitting was her opponent had questionable biology. 

"I put an end to the match because after the second blow, after years of experience in the ring and a life of fighting, I felt a strong pain in my nose," Angela said.

Angela's opponent in the match was Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who has had a troubled history qualifying for women's boxing in the past.

In an article from the Toronto Sun, they explained that Khelif had been shown to have XY chromosomes in the past. 

"The International Olympic Committee defended their decision to let Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting into the competition despite both being disqualified from the world championships by the International Boxing Association for failing gender eligibility tests. The president of the IBA alleged that the boxers’ chromosome tests came back as XY, which typically is a male trait, while Khelif also was found to have a high level of testosterone, according to Reuters."
