Nina-Marie Daniele accuses IOC of allowing "biological men" to "beat up" women boxers at Paris 2024: "This is diabolical"
UFC content creator Nina-Marie Daniele has some strong opinions on the International Olympic Committee's inclusion of two boxers, who failed gender eligibility tests last year, in the women’s competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The uproar against the inclusion of the boxers took force after footage surfaced of a one-sided boxing contest in the past, prompting concerns about potential physical advantages the two athletes would have in the competition. Algeria's Imane Khelif and Lin Yu Ting from Taiwan were both disqualified at the World Championships in New Delhi, India last year.
Moreover, a video of Khelif delivering a one-sided beatdown on Brianda Tamara, one of her previous opponents in 2022, has gone viral. The video has added fuel to the outburst against the inclusion of the fighters in the ongoing Olympics.
Check out the video below:
Marie Daniele labeled the situation "disgusting" and "diabolical." She took to X to weigh in on the matter, writing:
"This absolutely DISGUSTING! Shame on the Olympic committee for allowing this! Imagine being a father and watching your daughter get beat up by a biological man. This is diabolical."

Khelif and Lin were disqualified from the Women's World Boxing Championships in March 2023 in New Delhi, after a series of DNA tests were conducted amid concerns over their biological sex. Umar Kremlev, the president of the International Boxing Association (IBA), claimed the tests had proven that they had 'XY chromosomes', which indicate male sex.
Nina-Marie Daniele claps back at backlash on the video of her dancing at UFC 304
Nina-Marie Daniele was a prominent presence at the recently concluded UFC 304 event, engaging with fighters through her quirky interview approach.
She posted a video of her enjoying the pre-fight walkout routine of Paddy Pimblett that had the audience on their feet. Pimblett took on King Green in the main card of the pay-per-view showcase and walked away with a first-round submission win.
While the video was posted in good spirits, some fans labeled it as "cringe" and bashed the MMA content creator. Marie-Daniele fired back at those fans on X, writing:
"The internet is so weird LOL. I got so much hate for posting a clip of me dancing and having fun at UFC 304 meanwhile so many people had low energy or were caught sleeping. Imagine if someone caught me sleeping Lol. It’s a lose-lose with MMA Twitter sometimes. Anyway, here is a clip someone filmed of me locked in and excited for Manel Kape vs Muhammad Mokaev LOL"
