Imane Khelif, a rising star in the boxing world, recently made headlines when she was awarded a prestigious medal by the WBO, alongside a jaw-dropping $25 million bonus, after an unprecedented victory. While many praised her for her impressive skills and achievements in the ring, the large sum and the award raised eyebrows among fans and industry insiders alike.
Critics argue that the size of the bonus and the medal were disproportionate, especially considering Khelif’s relatively short career. Some have gone so far as to suggest that her success was either exaggerated or that the rewards were a result of unnecessary favoritism within the organization.
Musk, known for his strong opinions and public influence, didn’t hold back in his criticism. “This kind of behavior undermines the integrity of the sport,” he said in a statement. “There’s no way a $25 million bonus should be awarded without justification. The WBO is making a mockery of boxing, and I can’t stand by that.”
Elon Musk, a major supporter and sponsor of various sports and philanthropic programs, has been an influential figure in the world of business and entertainment. His ventures into sports support have included backing for various organizations, including the WBO, with a focus on advancing the profile of boxing and providing funding for young athletes.
