Angela Carini bowed out of the biggest fight of her life in just 46 seconds after eating several big shots from her controversial opponent, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif ... who failed a gender eligibility test in 2023, but has been permitted to compete in Paris.

25-year-old Carini, competing for Italy, faced 25-year-old Khelif on Thursday ... but the scrap didn't last very long. Less than halfway through round one, Angela decided she'd had enough, and the fight was over.
