Kaliningrad boxer Sergey Gorokhov and his team were attacked by a crowd in the ring after Gorokhov knocked out local fighter Emirhan Kalkan in the second round in Trabzon, Turkey. Gorokhov scored a knockdown in the first round before finishing the fight in the second. After celebrating his victory, a man in civilian clothes confronted Gorokhov, and when Gorokhov's cornerman Ismail pushed the man, a mob rushed the ring and assaulted Gorokhov and his team. Ismail and another cornerman were taken to the hospital. After being discharged, the team immediately drove from Trabzon to Georgia, removing their Russian license plates for safety. They successfully reached Georgia without further incident.
