WWE superstar Logan Paul has stirred controversy with his tweet about the Olympic boxing match between Imane Khelif and Angela Carini. During the Paris Olympics 2024, Angela Carini of Italy faced Imane Khelif of Algeria in a boxing match that concluded in just 46 seconds.
The viral video of Angela Carini crying after the bout has led to widespread debate and backlash over Khelif’s eligibility due to her gender. The controversy arose because Khelif had been disqualified from the Women’s World Championships in 2023 after failing testosterone and gender eligibility tests. However, Khelif was one of only two boxers allowed to compete in the Paris Olympics.
Amid the controversy, WWE superstar Logan Paul decided to share his thoughts in a now-deleted tweet. Paul expressed his belief that the boxing match was the ‘purest form of evil,’ which quickly drew backlash from fans. Later, Paul acknowledged on X (formerly Twitter) that he might have spread misinformation, along with many others on the platform. Following his admission, speculation arose that WWE might have reached out to him regarding his controversial tweet.
‼️ OOPSIES ‼️
I might be guilty of spreading misinformation along with the entirety of this app
Although she’s been previously disqualified for failing a “gender test” and has XY chromosomes, some sources say Imane Khelif was born a biological woman
I stand by my sentiment… https://t.co/oVfWARylCJ pic.twitter.com/S2QvHPHwWg— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) August 1, 2024
Logan Paul faced significant backlash from fans over his comments about the Olympic boxing match between Imane Khelif and Angela Carini. Although Paul later admitted that he might have spread misinformation, the controversy continued.
Amid the backlash and Paul’s status as a WWE superstar, a tweet from Ibou of WrestlePurists claimed that WWE PR contacted Paul, who reportedly reacted by “crashing out and kicking and screaming.” This tweet caught Paul’s attention, prompting him to respond with a denial, stating that the claim was false.
Meanwhile, Logan is set to compete against LA Knight in a singles match for the United States Championship at WWE SummerSlam this weekend. The show will take place in Paul’s home state of Cleveland, Ohio.
