Rematch Between Luca Hamori and Khelif Possible, Coach Says

The International Boxing Association (IBA) did not wait long after the Olympics: it will hold the women's world championships in Astana, Kazakhstan, at the end of September and beginning of October. However, Luca Hamori, who finished fifth in the women's 66 kg category at the Games in Paris, will not compete. Her coach, Aron Varsanyi told the Ripost magazine that she needs a complete rest after the upsetting controversies surrounding her match against Algerian Imane Khelif.

"Luca will not compete in the world championship. She needs a complete rest after all the challenges and expectations she had to tackle in the French capital. I can tell that this whole row has deeply upset her," Aron Varsanyi said.
