In the quarterfinals in Paris, the current European champion and bronze medallist from the last world championships lost to Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting in the category of up to 57 kg. The Asian boxer is one of the two boxers, who are part of a gender eligibility controversy and are believed to not belong to the female categories of boxing.
Kamenova and Yu-tin met for the last time in the quarterfinals of the world championships in New Delhi in 2018. Then the Bulgarian lost with 2:3 judges' votes and the Taiwanese won the bronze medal. Lin Yu-ting's award was subsequently revoked and awarded to the Bulgarian female boxer as Lin Yu-ting failed the gender eligibility test.
After the end of the match, BOC President Stefka Kostadinova congratulated Svetlana Kamenova. The coach of the women's national team, Borislav Georgiev, appeared in front of the journalists with a sign in English: "I am XX, Save women's sports", reminding that women have two X-chromosomes and men have an X and Y-chromosome.
