NEW DELHI: Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng will contest the gold medal bout at the women's world championships in New Delhi after Algeria's Imane Khelif was disqualified hours after she failed to meet the eligibility criteria, the International Boxing Association (IBA) said on Sunday.
The 23-year-old was scheduled to meet Yang Liu in the 66kg division final but Janjaem, who lost to Khelif in the semi-finals, will fight the Chinese instead.
