World Boxing is hosting its first Olympic boxing World Championships in Liverpool, featuring men and women competing together for the first time. Over 500 boxers from more than 60 countries will compete in ten weight categories. World Boxing took over organizing major international competitions after the IBA lost IOC recognition due to ethical and governance issues. The event will be closely watched for World Boxing's gender testing policy, which aims to ensure fair competition. Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is notably absent, having challenged the gender testing requirements.
