Algerian Imane Khelif's Paris Olympics welterweight fight against Angela Carini in the round of 16 lasted 46 seconds after the Italian had to stop following a powerful punch to the nose.

Khelif is one of two boxers in France in the spotlight after previously failing International Boxing Association (IBA) eligibility rules.

She was ruled eligible, however, to compete in Paris, a competition run by the IOC, after the Olympic body stripped the IBA of international recognition last year over issues related to governance and finance.

Khelif entered the packed North Paris arena amid loud cheers from fans waving Algeria flags, and the Italian was instantly no match for her opponent's speed and longer reach.
