Kaliningrad boxer Sergey Gorokhov (16-11-2) and his team were attacked by a mob in Turkey after he knocked out local boxer Emirhan Kalkan (7-0) in the second round. Gorokhov had dropped Kalkan in the first round before finishing him in the second. After celebrating his victory, Gorokhov was confronted by a man in civilian clothes, leading to a scuffle when Gorokhov's cornerman Ismail pushed the man. A crowd then stormed the ring and assaulted Gorokhov and his team. Ismail and another cornerman were taken to the hospital, and after treatment, all three immediately drove from Trabzon to Georgia, removing their Russian license plates for safety. They successfully reached Georgia without further incident.
