Jake Paul and Angela Carini

Jake Paul has offered Italian boxer Angela Carini a chance to fight on one of his Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) undercards after her controversial loss to Algerian boxer Imane Khelif at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Carini withdrew from the match just 46 seconds in, visibly distraught after being hit hard, and expressed that she had never experienced such pain before. Khelif, who had previously failed gender eligibility tests, was allowed to compete at the Olympics, leading to backlash and claims of unfairness. Paul criticized the decision to permit Khelif's participation, labeling it as 'sickening' and a 'travesty.' He emphasized the need for a fair platform for female athletes, stating that he wants Carini to showcase her skills without facing a male competitor. The ongoing controversy raises questions about gender eligibility in sports, with other voices in support of Carini calling her decision to back out a heroic act.
