Imane Khelif filed an appeal against World Boxing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
The federation barred her from competing in upcoming events without a genetic test.
World Boxing ruled that all women entering the World Championships in Liverpool, September 4–14, must undergo a gender test.
Khelif lodged her appeal on August 5, demanding the right to compete without testing.
She also asked to suspend the tests until a verdict, but Cas rejected the request on Monday.
Cas announced a hearing but gave no timeline for the final judgment.
World Boxing justified the rule as protecting athletes and ensuring fair competition for both genders.
The federation required all female athletes over 18 to complete either a PCR test or an equivalent medical genetic screening once.
Controversy sparked after Olympics
The debate began at the Paris Olympics around Khelif and Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan.
Both boxers were barred from the 2023 World Championships by Iba after undisclosed gender tests.
Iba claimed they failed to meet entry standards and enjoyed advantages over other female participants.
The IOC condemned the decision as arbitrary and let both compete in Paris.
The IOC declared that passport-listed gender determined eligibility for competition.
Khelif and Lin both won gold in Paris, fueling a global controversy.
IOC relies on World Boxing as partner
The IOC recognized World Boxing as a partner in February to secure boxing’s future.
After suspending Iba, the IOC ran the Olympic boxing tournaments in Tokyo and Paris itself.
For Los Angeles 2028, the IOC assigned World Boxing to organize the event.
