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

Sergey Gorokhov (16-11-2) knocked out local boxer Emirhan Kalkan (7-0) in the second round in Trabzon, Turkey, but the celebration turned violent when a crowd attacked Gorokhov and his team inside the ring. After Gorokhov's celebration, a man in civilian clothes confronted him, and when Gorokhov's cornerman Ismail pushed the man, a mob rushed the ring and assaulted the Russian team. Two of Gorokhov's cornermen were taken to the hospital following the incident. After receiving medical treatment, Gorokhov and his team immediately drove from Trabzon to Georgia, removing their Russian license plates for safety. They successfully reached Georgia without further incident.
