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

Kaliningrad boxer Sergey Gorokhov (16-11-2) and his team were attacked by a crowd in Turkey following his second-round knockout victory over local fighter Emirhan Kalkan (7-0). After celebrating his win, Gorokhov was yelled at by a man in civilian clothes connected to Kalkan who entered the ring. When Gorokhov approached without hostile intent, the man pushed him, then Gorokhov's cornerman Ismail pushed back, triggering a mob assault on Gorokhov and his team inside the ring. Ismail and another cornerman were taken to hospital. After medical treatment, the three immediately drove from Trabzon to Georgia, removing their Russian license plates as a precaution. Gorokhov stated "about 50 people were on my head" describing the attack. They successfully reached Georgia safely.
