Lin Yu-Ting beats Sitora Turdibova in her first fight.

The Taiwanese fighter is the number one seed in the women’s featherweight ( 57kg ) division.

Her opponent Staneva has a record of 41 wins and 14 losses, but is perhaps the lesser profiled of the two boxers to have failed gender tests given her reduced fire power.

Lin Yu-Ting and Imane Khelif are banned from International Boxing Association competition for having failed a gender test that reveals the presence of XY chromosomes in their DNA.

The two are allowed to fight in the IOC governed Olympic boxing event, but are not allowed to compete in the event.

The controversy dates back to the IOC confirming the two are eligible in the build-up to the event, or to the shocking 46-second victory of Algeria’sImaneKhelif in her first round bout against Angela Carini .
