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

Kaliningrad boxer Sergey Gorokhov and his team were attacked by a mob in the ring in Turkey after he knocked out local fighter Emirhan Kalkan in the second round. Gorokhov, who entered with a 16-11-2 record against Kalkan's 7-0, scored a knockdown in the first round before finishing the fight in the second. After celebrating his victory, Gorokhov was confronted by a man in civilian clothes associated with Kalkan, leading to a shoving incident with Gorokhov's cornerman Ismail. A crowd then stormed the ring and attacked Gorokhov and his team. Two cornermen were taken to the hospital, and afterward the team immediately drove from Trabzon to Georgia, removing their Russian license plates for safety. They successfully reached Georgia without further incident.
