Lin Yu-ting (Chinese: 林郁婷; born 13 December 1995) is a Taiwanese boxer. She is from New Taipei City.[2]

She won a gold medal at the 2018 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships as a bantamweight, followed by a medal at the 2019 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships.[3][2]

In March 2023, Yu-Ting failed a sex test and was stripped of a Bronze medal from the International Boxing Association (IBA) Women’s World Boxing Championships; it was instead awarded to Bulgaria's Svetlana Staneva.[4]

On July 29, 2024, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that Lin and other female boxers have complied with all rules to fight for the 2024 Paris Olympics, regardless of their status in previous IBA competitions. This decision highlighted the ongoing dispute between the IOC and the Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA). The IBA has been excluded from organizing Olympic boxing since the Tokyo Games in 2021 due to various governance and ethical issues, with the IOC overseeing Olympic boxing qualifying and competitions directly.[5]
