Watch: Female Opponent Taunts Embattled Olympic Boxer, Makes ‘X’ Sign to Protest Amid Failed Gender-Test Backlash

But on Wednesday, a second protest from a defeated boxer was a gesture seen around the world.

After losing, Kahraman made the double ‘X’ sign with her index fingers, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
The protest was similar to one made by Bulgarian female boxer Svetlana Staneva after losing to Lin in the quarter-finals.
