Lin, who along with Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was embroiled in a gender row at the Paris Olympics, was due to compete in the World Boxing Cup Finals in Sheffield starting Wednesday.
Reports published in France this week claimed Khelif, 25, has XY, or male, chromosomes.
Khelif was the centre of a gender controversy at the Olympics on her way to the women's 66kg title.
"It's Algeria's victory," her father, Omar Khelif, told reporters as he watched the fight on a giant screen along with the rest of the village around 300 kilometres (185 miles) southwest of Algiers.
Victory at the Paris Olympics has "a special taste", said Algeria's Imane Khelif after winning boxing gold on Friday, following two weeks of speculation over her eligibility amid a gender dispute that has engulfed the Games.
The father of Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer at the centre of an Olympic row over whether athletes with Differences of Sexual Development (DSD) should compete as women, said she had honoured his family, calling attacks against her immoral.
Distraught Italian boxer Angela Carini, showing signs of physical pain, shrugged off attempts by Khelif to shake her hand afterwards, collapsing to her knees and sobbing uncontrollably in the middle of the ring.
