VILLEPINTE, France The Hungarian Boxing Association says it is sending letters of protest to both the IOC and Hungarys Olympic committee over Anna Luca Hamoris quarterfinal matchup with Imane Khelif of Algeria in womens boxing at the Paris Olympics .

Hamori still will accept her fight on Saturday against Khelif, according to MTI, Hungarys state news agency.

MTI was told of the associations plans Friday by Lajos Berk, a member of the associations executive board. The association also is investigating the possibility of legally challenging Khelifs presence.

I am very sad that there is a scandal and that we have to talk about a topic that is not compatible with sport, Berk said. This is unacceptable and outrageous.
