Logan Paul Admits To Being “Guilty Of Spreading Misinformation” About Imane Khelif, The Algerian Olympic Boxer


Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul were some of the high-profile social media users who jumped on the bandwagon to make false accusations about the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.

The Paul brothers took to Elon Musk’s X platform, formerly known as Twitter, to express their feelings about the boxing match between Italian Angela Carini and Khelif at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Carini abandoned the match after several blows to the face by Khelif, and one post on social media claimed the Algerian boxer was transgendered and assigned male at birth. Khelif has reportedly always identified as a woman, and the confusion lies in the boxer being disqualified by the International Boxing Association last year for allegedly having XY chromosomes.
