Khelif had failed an unspecified gender test administered by the Russian-led International Boxing Association in 2023. Carini left the ring in tears, and later claimed: "After the second one (punch landed) I couldn't breathe anymore. "I went to my coach and said 'enough' because it takes maturity and courage to stop. I didn't feel like fighting anymore."
