Lequipe, cited by Thairath, confirmed on March 17 that the French Boxing Federation granted her a pro license, with coach John Dowie eyeing a tall, athletic female opponent for her all-womens card featuring stars like undefeated Olympic gold medalist Estelle Mossely and European champ Marine Bopampa. This move carries massive long-term weight, positioning Khelif for global pay-per-view fights and financial independence post-Olympics.

Rediff and ESPN note Lin, Khelifs Paris rival in the gender row, passed eligibility after an appeal, with World Boxing praising the process for safety and integritythough they didnt disclose test details. RTL Today calls it a tremendous relief for Lin, her first international bout since Paris, reigniting debates on chromosome testing that sidelined both women from World Boxing events last year. No fresh public appearances or social media posts from Khelif herself surfaced, but the Lin news keeps her name buzzing in outlets like Washington Times and Field Level Media, underscoring her enduring role in boxings eligibility saga.
