Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif, who was embroiled in a gender controversy during the Paris Games, aims for a second gold medal in Los Angeles, dismissing Donald Trump's policy on transgender athletes.

Last month, the US president signed an executive order preventing transgender women from competing in female sports categories. Trump had previously claimed that the 25-year-old boxer had transitioned from male to female, which Khelif has strongly refuted.
