Closer and closer to the dream is the boxer Imani Kelif
Imani Kelif from Algeria, the boxer who is in the center of the news, won her fight against Luca Hamori from Hungary, and advanced to the semifinals of women's boxing at the Olympics, which earns her a medal.

Despite the good atmosphere, Hamori, before the match, had stated that she does not consider it fair that Kelif is competing.
Kelif's next opponent is Zanzaem Swanafeng. The two will fight for the gold and silver medals, while today's two losers will fight for the bronze.
