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.

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.
