Olympic women's boxer Imane Khelif, who triggered an international gender row by demolishing her opponent in 46 seconds yesterday, has spoken of her 'bravery' at overcoming a life of adversity to reach the top of her sport.
The 'biologically male' athlete told how she rose from selling bread on the streets of her Algerian village to become a sporting hero – after a coach turned her to the sport due to her 'physical qualities'.
But even then, she faced prejudice as her conservative family and community viewed the sport as 'only for men'.
