But the IBA - formerly known as AIBA - revealed in the middle of her controversial run they had banned her from their 2023 world championships following a chromosome test.
Russia-funded IBA - which lost it's IOC recognition in 2023 over allegations of corruption - has since been replaced by World Boxing, who have introduced mandatory sex tests.
And new IOC president Kirsty Coventry announced plans for a working group to safeguard the female category.
However Khelif has NOT been ordered to return her meal - though it seems likely she will be refused the chance to defend in 2028 - leaving IBA boss Umar Kremlev fuming.
The 46-year-old told SunSport: 'No, I am not satisfied.
'I truly believe that a medal should be truly deserved. We must protect athletes and give them the best conditions
'I am here for truth, transparency and openness. And now the truth has been revealed
'There should be no unfair fights in boxing and the international federations should take care of their athletes.
'So the medal should be returned to the real owner, the real female owner.'
And - in a shot directed at the IOC - Kremlev added: 'Everything that is earned in the Olympics should be shared with the athletes.

'They should get prize money and medals made of the real precious metals they are supposed to represent.
'Why, when the Olympics Games come around, do the IOC administrators stay in five-star hotels, eat in fancy restaurants and sometimes travel on private jets - while the athletes all share a little village?
'It's crazy and it's bulls*** because it is the athletes - and their lifetime of dedication - that make the event and get the sponsorship and the broadcasts.
'They should fly home on private jets, with real medals.'
Khelif has always denied being a biological male and even named JK Rowling and Elon Musk in a cyberbullying lawsuit.
An IOC spokesperson also told Sun Sport in the past: "The IOC has always made it clear that eligibility criteria are the responsibility of the respective International Federation.
"The factors that matter to sports performance are unique to each sport, discipline, and/or event.
"We await the full details how sex testing will be implemented in a safe, fair and legally enforceable way."

Aryna Sabalenka the last top-five seed standing after shock Jasmine Paolini exit
The women's draw was blown wide open on Tuesday when three leading players – French Open champion Coco Gauff, world number three Jessica Pegula and Olympic gold medallist Zheng Qinwen – crashed out in a series of first-round shocks. Sabalenka avoided a similar fate in Wednesday's round-two matches thanks to a close-fought 7-6 (4) 6-4 victory over Czech world number 48 Bouzkova in a big-hitting battle on Centre Court. But fourth-seeded Italian Paolini, who was defeated by Barbora Krejcikova in the 2024 final, lost 4-6 6-4 6-4 to Russian world number 80 Kamilla Rakhimova. Unseeded 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova was also eliminated. She was defeated 6-3 6-3 by British number one Emma Raducanu, who will face top seed Sabalenka in a mouthwatering third-round encounter. Three-time major winner Sabalenka is chasing a maiden SW19 title, having missed last year's Championships because of a shoulder injury after being absent in 2022 due to the ban on Russian and Belarusian players. Second set ✅ Second round ✅ World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka defeats Marie Bouzkova 7-6(4), 6-4 after a tough battle on Centre Court 😮💨#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 2, 2025 'Honestly, it is sad to see so many upsets in the tournament,' said the 27-year-old. 'But you better focus on yourself and stay away from the results. 'Of course, you're going to know the overall picture but it's better just to take it one step at a time. 'I hope it is no upsets anymore in this tournament – if you know what I mean! I'm really happy to be through this difficult round.' Sixth seed Madison Keys avoided joining fellow Americans Gauff and Pegula in booking an early flight home by overcoming Serbian world number 37 Olga Danilovic 6-4 6-2. But world number nine Diana Shnaider was knocked out, in addition to fellow seeds Beatriz Haddad Maia, Donna Vekic, Leylah Fernandez and Ashlyn Krueger. Four-time major winner Naomi Osaka eased through, defeating Zheng's first-round conqueror Katerina Siniakova 6-3 6-2.

Russian drones are attacking Black Sea cargo ships. Here's how Ukraine is fighting back
Russia is attacking cargo ships and port infrastructure across the Black Sea coast in an attempt to make Ukraine 's grain exports collapse. That attacks hurt the agriculture industry, which brings in much-needed money to keep Kyiv's war effort going. We spent a morning on patrol with the Ukrainian navy as they protected the giant cargo ships racing into port to load up with grain and get out fast, before any Russian drones arrived. In a coastal patrol vessel recently donated by Estonia and under the wailing sirens denoting an imminent air attack, the crew took us through their different roles; each critical if the vital life line of the grain corridor is to remain open. To hear more about this story – featuring discussions with senior figures in the Ukrainian navy – listen to our award-winning podcast, Ukraine: The Latest.

How Reform UK's plans could dismantle the welfare state
According to a report by The Independent, recent YouGov polls suggest that 38% of working-class voters support Reform – despite evidence that the party's policies could actually stand to make them worse off. We looked at four key policy areas – the NHS, free school meals, benefits and employment – and found that, in spite of promoting themselves as the party of the people, Reform have consistently campaigned on policies or voted against legislation that would keep what's left of the welfare state intact. NHS Nigel Farage has hit back at claims from Labour that under a Reform government, the NHS would no longer be free of charge. An independent fact checker found that Labour had quoted Farage out of context. The right-wing leader has never outright said that his party would fully scrap or privatise the healthcare system and that their policy is 'to always keep the NHS free at the point of use'. However, Farage has been clear that he doesn't want the NHS to be publicly funded. The party has also proposed a range of measures including expanding private provision, bringing in tax relief on private healthcare, bringing in weekend operating hours, and fining patients for missed appointments. Their plan also leans heavily on expanding private provision – offering tax relief on private healthcare and introducing NHS-funded vouchers for private treatment when NHS wait times are too long. READ MORE: Labour partially U-turn on benefits cuts in bid to win over rebel MPs Free school meals Free school meals are a devolved issue, but let's take a look at what Reform are proposing for England. In 2020, Farage criticised the Conservative government for voting against providing free school meals for pupils from low income families during school holidays, branding the move 'mean' and 'wrong'. If the government can subsidise Eat Out to Help Out, not being seen to give poor kids lunch in the school holidays looks mean and is wrong. — Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) October 22, 2020 However, Reform's official policy documents contain zero proposals regarding the provision of free school meals. Farage also abstained from voting on the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill at its third reading. The bill proposes that primary schools in England must provide free breakfast for pupils and limit the number of branded items required for uniforms to support families and reduce inequality around hunger and clothing. Reform's four other MPs (excluding Rupert Lowe, who has been suspended by the party) voted on the bill as follows: Lee Anderson: No James McMurdock: No Richard Tice: No Sarah Pochin: No available information The provision of free school meals helps improve pupils' concentration in the classroom, as well as helping to tackle poverty, food insecurity and improving children's overall wellbeing. The Scottish Government, on the other hand, recently expanded eligibility for free school meals, as well as wiping millions of pounds worth of lunch debts for pupils across the country in a bid to tackle the cost of living crisis. (Image: Supplied)Scottish Greens MSP Ross Greer said: 'Children can't learn if they are hungry and we know that free meals can have a transformative impact on their success at school.' Benefits Reform UK wants to overhaul the 'bloated' benefits system to make work more attractive and stop more people falling into the 'benefits trap'. Their 2024 manifesto states the party would raise the income tax threshold to £20,000 and focus on getting up to 2 million people, especially 16–34-year-olds, back into work. Jobseekers would have to accept a job after two offers and find employment within four months or risk benefit sanctions. Disability benefit assessments would be face-to-face with medical proof required, though exemptions would apply for severe cases. They'd also push to end so-called 'health tourism' by restricting access to benefits for new arrivals until they've lived and worked in the UK for five years. READ MORE: No changes to council tax 'in this decade', says Scottish Government Reform's benefit proposals risk punishing the vulnerable rather than addressing the root causes of unemployment. Raising the income tax threshold may help some, but it doesn't address those whose wages are too low to meet the bar in the first place, and does little to improve job quality or security. Forcing people to accept jobs under threat of losing benefits – the 'two-strike' policy – risks pushing individuals into unsuitable, low-paid, or exploitative work. Disability campaigners have also long criticised the dehumanising benefits assessments, especially for those with hidden or fluctuating conditions. Increasing the number of assessments required to receive payments is likely to do nothing but cause distress and further alienate disabled people. As it stands, and unlike myths peddled by the far-right, asylum seekers in the UK are not actually entitled to any mainstream benefits such as Universal Credit. Instead, they are granted £49.18 per person, per week, to cover essentials like food and clothing. If an asylum seeker is placed in accommodation that provides food, the weekly payment is then slashed to £9.95 per person. However, Reform MPs were largely against Labour's welfare cuts. Farage, Tice, McMurdock and Pochin all voted no at the "chaotic" second reading of the bill, whilst Anderson did not vote at all. Employment Outside overhauls to the benefits system, Reform's proposed employment policies are mostly based on removing EU regulations. Their manifesto mentions '[slashing] red tape to boost industry', ie scrapping EU based-employment laws and making it easier for businesses to adopt fire and hire staff members. UK employment law still draws largely from key EU legislations, like the Working Time Regulations 1998 act, TUPE and the Equality Act 2010. Working Time Regulations maintains EU standards on maximum weekly hours (48 hours), rest breaks and annual leave, while TUPE protects employees during business transfers. The Equality Act enforces anti-discrimination and sexual harassment policies in the workplace. READ MORE: 'Bizarre': Question Time called out as Reform councillor joins Scottish panel If Reform were to scrap these policies entirely, there is a risk of gutting workers' rights. Protections like paid leave, rest breaks and safeguards against unfair dismissal could be weakened. Making it 'easier to hire and fire' may sound pro-business, but in reality it could lead to job insecurity, longer hours, and reduced protections for vulnerable workers. Stripping back anti-discrimination laws rooted in EU rules, like the Equality Act 2010, could further erode workplace fairness. Additionally, for a party which claims to be for the people, their voting records on employment rights suggest otherwise. At the third reading for the Employment Rights Bill, Reform MPs voted as follows: Nigel Farage: No Lee Anderson: Didn't vote James McMurdock: Didn't vote Richard Tice: Didn't vote Sarah Pochin: No information available When asked by ITV about youth unemployment, Farage said: 'There's a lot of young people not working who could be. It's almost as if the culture's gone wrong.' The Reform leader attributed the number of youngsters out of work to 17-and-18-year-olds not being pushed to work, while failing to cite rising retirement ages, gaps between education and employment, a lack of local jobs and health, work experience and education inequalities caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The party has provided no substantial pathways to decreasing the number of unemployed young people, other than vague promises to 'get more young people into farming', recruiting 30,000 for the armed forces and taxing foreign workers to pay for undefined apprenticeships.
