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

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.
“This is the purest form of evil unfolding right before our eyes,” Logan Paul said in a now-deleted post. “A man was allowed to beat up a woman on a global stage, crushing her life’s dream while fighting for her deceased father. This delusion must end.”
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. However, the IOC disputed those claims and allowed Khelif to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics as she did in the 2020 Tokyo games.
After being called out on social media, Logan Paul issued a new statement where he admits he was wrong.
“OOPSIES,” Logan Paul shared. “I might be guilty of spreading misinformation along with the entirety of this app.”
He later added, “I stand by my sentiment that biological men should not compete against biological women in any sport and if you disagree you’re a sick f***.”
Logan and Jake Paul’s messages on social media about Imane KhelifX @loganpaul @jakepaul
Logan Paul’s brother hasn’t issued a retraction to his prior messages where he called the match between Khelif and Carini “sickening” and “a travesty.”
Jake Paul also invited Carini to fight “when she is ready” at one of their boxing events from their Most Valuable Promotions.
JK Rowling and Elon Musk were other high-profile names that expressed their outrage on social media under false information. Neither the Harry Potter author nor the X owner has issued a correction at the time of this post.
