Gender row boxer Imane Khelif shows off dramatic new look one year since Paris Games
Imane Khelif has shown off a dramatic new look, more than a year since her last boxing match, The Sun reports. The Algerian, 26, won her nation's first ever gold medal in women's boxing in the welterweight category at the Paris Olympics in August 2024. However, she was at the centre of a huge gender eligibility storm. Never miss the latest sports news from Australia and around the world — download the app direct to your phone. It emerged that Khelif had been banned from fighting in competitions by the International Boxing Association in 2023 after tests allegedly showed her to have DNA of a male. But the International Olympic Committee allowed her to compete in Paris because of her female passport status after replacing the Russian-led IBA, who were stripped of recognition by the IOC in a row over ethics and financial management. The controversy sparked a huge debate, with Khelif being subjected to a barrage of abuse and accusations, including from the likes of Elon Musk and JK Rowling. Changes have come into play since then, with the new governing body, World Boxing, confirming fighters will be required to undergo mandatory sex screening to compete in their events. Khelif has not stepped into the ring since her Paris victory over Lui Yang on August 9. However, earlier this week Khelif was seen sporting a remarkable new look. On Wednesday (AEDT) she took a selfie alongside television host podcaster Nassima Djaffar Bey. Khelif was seen beaming in the photo, appearing with makeup and flowing hair. Djaffar Bey shared the photo to her Instagram story and captioning the post: 'Always a pleasure.' On the one-year anniversary of winning her Olympic gold, Khelif shared a cryptic Instagram post as she reflected on the 'difficult phase' she was going through. Khelif said: 'It was an unforgettable moment a moment where my tears mixed with the awe of pride, a moment where my country's flag soared high, and I held my head up with the strength of a boxer and the heart of a human. 'Today, on the anniversary of that triumph, I'm going through a difficult phase filled with challenges, silence, and waiting… 'But despite everything, the spirit that fought for gold still beats within me. I still believe that every fall is a prelude to a stronger rise, and that every delay carries within it a test of faith and willpower. 'True strength lies not only in victory, but in perseverance against all odds. I am Imane Khelif a champion yesterday, resilient today, and determined to return tomorrow. 'Thank you to everyone who still believes in me… And to myself, thank you for never giving up.'

Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui departs battling Titans for UK Super League club Catalans Dragons
Tino Fa'asuamaleaui no longer has family ties to Gold Coast, with his younger brother Iszac leaving the struggling Titans for UK Super League club Catalans Dragons. It comes as Brisbane signed North Queensland's back-up halfback Tom Duffy for 2026. Prop Iszac has signed a two-year deal with the France-based club, which has also recently lured unwanted Bulldog Toby Sexton and Wests Tigers centre Solomona Faataape. Captain Tino started his NRL career in Melbourne, but Iszac came through the Titans development pathways and has played 25 matches over three seasons, including 11 off the bench this season. The 23-year-old told the Catalans club website he was looking forward to improving his game under their new coach, former England international Joel Tomkins. 'It's a great opportunity for me to improve my game, gain experience, and be a part of what Joel Tomkins is building within the playing group,' Iszac said. 'I'm also looking forward to living in such a beautiful part of the world in the south of France and experiencing it all with my family.' The elder Fa'asuamaleaui, who has notched 108 NRL games, 15 State of Origin caps with Queensland and has played six matches for the Kangaroos, is set to test the open market. He has a 10-year deal at the last-placed Titans until 2033 but has get-out clauses, the first at the end of next season. The superstar lock is believed to be in the sights of NRL newcomers the Perth Bears, Canterbury and St George Illawarra. The 25-year-old has also been linked back to competition heavyweights Melbourne after tasting premiership success with the Storm in 2020. Duffy will join the Broncos next season after falling down the pecking order in his rookie season at the underachieving Cowboys. The Cowboys' decision to re-sign fellow playmaker Jake Clifford spelt bad news for Duffy last month, with the 22-year-old Townsville product inking a one-year deal at the Broncos. Duffy has played six NRL games to date and is set to join Ben Hunt in providing depth behind first-choice playmakers Adam Reynolds and Ezra Mam. 'I think there's probably not a better club to go to at the moment as a half if you want to develop your game,' Duffy said.
