Donald Trump appeared on WWE legend The Undertaker’s podcast, released today (October 21), and doubled down on inaccurate claim that Paris Olympic champion boxer Imane Khelif was born a man and had transitioned to be female .
The much-anticipated podcast saw Trump being interviewed by The Undertaker, real name is Mark Calaway, on his ‘Six Feet Under’ podcast.
Discussions went on to ‘protecting women’s sports’ as the legendary wrestler brought out his daughter mid-interview. This prompted Trump to once again mention Khelif.

Trump said: “Did you see that beautiful Italian girl? She’s supposed to be a good boxer. She took just a left jab. The guy goes (Trump throws a punch) boom.”

He continues as the Undertaker is heard saying “ridiculous” as Trump goes “he goes with another left jab.”
Trump adds: “Now there were two in the Olympics. Because I didn’t even know they had female boxing. There were two people that transitioned into women. Both of them won the gold medal. Shockingly.”
The former US president then jokes about the Undertaker transitioning into female sports.
This is the second time Trump has spoke about Khelif
Trump spoke about it on ‘Bussin’ With The Boys,’ hosted by ex-NFL players Taylor Lewan and Will Compton.
He said: “I don’t think I could ever say I’m thrilled about that, OK? I’ve seen it; I’ve seen people really hurt. In the Olympics, you had two boxers that transitioned to women and the women’s boxing; they both won gold medals. And you saw the one, the young Italian girl, got hit a couple of times…”

Trump later added: “Trump later said: “He wants her to go in there and just get the hell beat out of her. She had a beautiful face. She wants her on the floor bleeding profusely; broken nose, it’ll never be the same again, scar down the face. You’re a tough guy. He’s a tough guy. She might’ve done the right thing, and I’m not one that says that… the two guys – there were two of them – and they both won a gold medal.”
Both gold medal winners Khelif and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan were both born female with no history of transitioning. Khelif failed an eligibility test at last year’s World Championships, which sparked rumours online that have since been debunked, including the WBO after false reports she had been banned over failing a gender test.
