    Men - Marco Verde and Olly Khyzhniak.
    Women - Cindy Ngamba, Nesthy Petecio, and Aira Villegas

    Jalolov, Arlen López, Teremoana, Dusmatov, and Khelif have all debuted in the pros already.

    I can't say I know what the different orgs attitudes to DSD's are - if the rumours of Y chromosomes are accurate, would they even be able to compete as women in the pro's? (It goes without saying they aren't skilled enough to succeed as pro males).

    The rumors are not accurate; they were spread by AIBA to cover up their corruption.

    Khelif already competes as pro.

    I would imagine the scrutiny is such that if they got anywhere near titles they'd be tested again - then we might find out?

    I remain unconvinced either way, as yet - given the cowardice of the IOC generally and especially the western world in general it wouldn't surprise me to find out they were... Especially given the IOC has dropped the swab test.

    It's a complicated one for sure and I'm happy to sit on the fence for now.

    I see on boxrec Khelif has had one pro bout, unless there are more they don't have recorded...

    It isn't complicated at all, actually. Imane Khelif is a woman and always has been. The only reason this ever snowballed into a global conversation in the first place is because of AIBA - famously the most corrupt organization in boxing history. They had a very clear agenda behind pushing the narrative that Khelif was a man, after she beat a Russian in their own tournament.

    Oleksandr Khyzhniak and Alvarez. Alvarez got absolutely screwed last night.

    Edit: Meant Ibáñez Díaz. The Bulgarian Cuban.
