Russian boxer Gorokhov attacked by mob in Turkey after knockout victory

Kaliningrad boxer Sergey Gorokhov (16-11-2 before the fight) and his team were attacked by a crowd in the ring after he knocked out local fighter Emirhan Kalkan (7-0) in the second round in Trabzon, Turkey. The incident began after Gorokhov celebrated his victory and was confronted by a man in civilian clothes connected to Kalkan. Gorokhov approached him without hostile intent but was pushed, then Gorokhov's cornerman Ismail pushed the man back, triggering the mob attack. Approximately 50 people swarmed Gorokhov in the ring. Ismail and another cornerman were taken to the hospital. After treatment, the three immediately drove from Trabzon to Georgia, removing their Russian license plates for safety. They successfully reached Georgia without further incident.
