Imane Khelif will fight for Olympic gold after another dominant victory in the ring.
The Algerian, 25, blocked out the noise of the gender tussle to keep full focus on the task at hand.
After calling for an end to "bullying", she ruthlessly defeated Janjaem Suwannapheng, 23, to reach Friday's final.
There has been an outcry from many in the boxing world, with boxing legend Barry McGuigan telling Olympic bosses to hang their heads in shame and gold medalist Nicola Adams calling the situation unfair and dangerous.
But the IOC discredits the Russian-backed IBA and is happy with the female passport status of Khelif and fellow boxer Lin Yu-ting, giving them the green light to compete at Paris 2024.
