Russian boxer Gorokhov attacked by mob after knockout win in Turkey

Kaliningrad boxer Sergey Gorokhov and his team were attacked by a mob inside the ring in Turkey after Gorokhov knocked out local fighter Emirhan Kalkan in the second round. Gorokhov entered the bout with a 16-11-2 record and scored a knockdown in the first round before finishing Kalkan, who was previously 7-0. After celebrating his victory, Gorokhov was confronted by a man in civilian clothes associated with Kalkan; when Gorokhov's cornerman Ismail pushed this man, approximately 50 people rushed the ring and attacked Gorokhov's team. Two cornermen were hospitalized, and after treatment, the three-man team immediately drove from Trabzon to Georgia, removing their Russian license plates for safety. They successfully reached Georgia without further incident.
