Russian boxer Sergey Gorokhov attacked by crowd in Turkey after knockout victory

Kaliningrad boxer Sergey Gorokhov (16-11-2) knocked out local fighter Emirhan Kalkan (7-0) in the second round in Trabzon, Turkey. After celebrating his victory, a man in civilian clothes who appeared connected to Kalkan entered the ring and shouted at Gorokhov. When Gorokhov approached him without hostile intent, the man pushed him, leading Gorokhov's cornerman Ismail to push the man back. A crowd then rushed into the ring and attacked Gorokhov and his team. Two of Gorokhov's cornermen required hospitalization, and the team immediately drove to Georgia after being released, removing their Russian license plates as a precaution.
