Khelif was crowned an Olympic champion on Friday after comfortably beating China's Yang Liu by unanimous decision to win gold in the women's welterweight final.

The Algerian boxer at the centre of a gender row at the Paris Olympics has filed a legal complaint saying she has been a victim of online harassment.

Imane Khelif’s lawyer Nabil Boudi said the complaint was filed with the Paris Prosecutor’s Office on Friday.

On Saturday, the gold-winning boxer said: “All that is being said about me on social media is immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world.”
