Jake Paul sends invitation to Angela Carini following controversial Paris 2024 exit

Jake Paul sends invitation to Angela Carini following controversial Paris 2024 exitEsther Lin/MVP
Angela Carini is at the centre of an Olympic boxing storm.

Jake Paul has offered a place on one of his fight cards to Angela Carini following her controversial exit at the Olympic Games in Paris. 

Carini was in action on Thursday, but she quit 46 seconds into the contest after feeling the force from a punch landed by her opponent, Imane Khelif. 

This incident has sparked heated debate across the boxing world with Khelif being allowed to compete in the women's 66kg category despite failing a gender eligibility test last year. 

In a post on X, Paul offered a helping hand to Carini who was left emotionally distraught following the contest.

"To Angela Carini although your dreams couldn't come true today because of the crazy agendas that are at play in our world at the moment, I would love to offer you to fight on an MVP undercard, to show the world your talents on a fair platform and not against a man," Paul wrote. 

"Internet help this find her."

The IOC issued a statement following the incident insisting that Khelif is eligible to compete at the games and will return to the ring on Saturday against Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori.
