The fight over women's sports thrust back into the spotlight after a boxing controversy at the Paris Olympics. Italian boxer Angela Carini withdrew from her match against Algerian Imane Khelif after just 46 seconds, saying she had never been punched that hard before.

Khelif, who was deemed eligible to compete in the Olympics just this week, has been in the international spotlight since last year when she was disqualified from the world championships for failing a "gender eligibility test" that found elevated levels of testosterone. Cary Williams, a former Olympic-level USA boxing coach and founder of Tussle Fight Gear, joined NewsNation's "Morning in America" to discuss the ongoing controversy.
