A boxing match turns into a mass brawl when the boxer’s trainer is taken to the hospital

A professional boxing world championship fight descended into chaos when a massive brawl broke out in the ring. Turkish Emirkhan Kalkhan and Russian Sergei Gorokhov faced off in the Besirli sports hall in the fight for the UBO world championship.

The tension reached a breaking point after the second round when Gorokhov secured victory over his opponent. The Russian was overjoyed and celebrated with his corner team before heading to Kalkhan to seemingly check how he was doing against his opponent.

A member of Kalkhan’s entourage then pushed Gorokhov away, before one of his cornermen lunged to deliver a thrust of his own. The situation quickly got out of control as both teams clashed in corner kicks, with spectators storming the ring to exchange punches and kicks.

Plastic chairs were thrown into the ring as a group of men attacked and kicked Coach Gorokhov. The boxer himself was left stunned as he desperately pleaded for an end to the violence before another group attacked him.

Falling to the canvas, Gorokhov was hit with chairs and subjected to a barrage of kicks before disappearing under a wave of enraged attackers. Meanwhile, a separate clip shows Gorokhov’s cornerback Igor Sudalainen lying on the floor and holding his head as security personnel and some of Kalkhana’s team tried to restore order.

After the incident, Gorokhov posted updates from a nearby hospital on social media. Sharing the message via the stories section of his Instagram account, he said: “Hello everyone. We are currently in hospital in Turkey.

“Ismail [trainer] he suffered a head injury and is currently undergoing an MRI. I got through it the least badly. The gloves helped protect me. Who saw the broadcast? “We were probably attacked by about 80 people.”

“They entered the ring and beat us after our great victory in the second round, where we knocked him out twice. However, the Turks behaved very badly.

“But thank God, everyone is alive. That’s what the fight was like, difficult. I’ll tell you later. We already have a police escort, we’ll go straight from the hotel to our rooms.

“I don’t think we’ll be spending the night there tonight. If anyone tries to pull a stunt, we’ll fly straight to Georgia. Then we’ll drive through Georgia overnight to Mineralnye Vody, and from there to Kaliningrad.”

“Thank you all for your support. We will be in touch. I will tell you everything tomorrow. World champion belt – we have a world champion in Russia, in Kaliningrad, in boxing. It was a very good fight.”

Gorokhov then posted another video on Instagram, confirming that he and his team had safely reached Georgia. He said: “We are in Georgia. We have the belt, we are champions. Thank you very much for your support, friends.”

Chris Billam-Smith forced Ryan Rozicki to retire on the stool at the end of the seventh round of a thrilling Zuffa Boxing UK fight on Saturday in Bournemouth.

Billam-Smith (22-2, 14 KO) finally defeated the tenacious Rozicki before the visiting corner pulled him out before the start of the eighth round of the cruiserweight clash at the Bournemouth International Centre.

Rozicki (21-2-1, 20 KO) started at a breakneck pace, forcing Billam-Smith to exchange pockets with him.

Favorite house obliged, and a cut was already noticeable under the Canadian’s left eye.

In the second round, Rozicki worked continuously, but in the same round he was deducted a point for constantly using his head.

Billam-Smith fired a huge uppercut in the third period, rocking Rozicki as he tried to continue trading.

‘The Bruiser’ regained momentum in the fourth quarter, pinning the Bournemouth player to the ropes and having to take several well-placed punches.

In a pulsating fifth quarter, both players continued to trade blow for blow, with both finding success inside.

The former WBO world champion landed at will in the sixth place, and yet Rozicki bravely and incredibly remained standing in the midst of an avalanche of almost eight punches.

The 31-year-old staggered back to the corner, looking distressed and bloody after throwing further unanswered punches tardy in the seventh period.

Rozicki’s corner saw enough and withdrew his man to give ‘The Gentleman’ his first win since overtaking Brandon Glanton last April.

Billam-Smith has lined up a potential clash with former IBF world champion and Zuffa stablemate Jai Opetaia.

Clarke survives two knockdowns, stops Massey in a thriller

Cheavon Clarke rose to the top twice, stopping Jack Massey in the seventh round of a thrilling cruiserweight bout.

Massey (23-4, 13 KO) was poised for an early stoppage after Clarke (11-2, 9 KO) floored Clarke (11-2, 9 KO) in the fourth with a powerful right hand.

“One Smack” increased the pressure and a body shot knocked down the Kent fighter again.

However, “C4” pulled himself together and delivered a right hand in the seventh set, knocking the 33-year-old down to his pants.

Clarke sensed a break and used a series of right hands, prompting referee Bob Williams to intervene.

Cutler said goodbye to Sutton after his injury

Lee Cutler returned to winning ways after losing to Sam Eggington, and Aaron Sutton withdrew from the competition due to an injury in the third round.

Cutler (16-2, 8 KO) landed a right hand that left Sutton (19-3, 3 KO) writhing in pain from a shoulder injury.

McKenna blows Streeter away

Stephen McKenna bounced back from his loss to Lee Cutler by defeating Casey James Streeter in the first round.

Streeter (15-4-2, 6 KO) somehow stayed on his feet after McKenna (16-1, 15 KO) detonated a brutal left hook, but the subsequent attack knocked him to the ground.

The American defeated the count, but McKenna was relentless and after another series of punches, he forced the referee to intervene.

Undercard remaining

Sam Hickey (5-0, 2 KO) defeated Todd Tompkins with a mighty right hand punch in the second round of the middleweight fight.

Tompkins (4-1) was administered oxygen while he was on the canvas, but the 29-year-old was fortunately back on his feet shortly after.

Heavyweight Ivan Dychko bounced back from his loss to Jermaine Franklin Jr. after a split decision he won against Harvey Dykes (7-1-1).

Dychko (16-1, 14 KO) came away with two scores of 97-92, outscored by a score of 95-94 in favor of Dykes.

Welterweight prospect Alex MacMillan (4-0, 3 KO) defeated Leo Fanthome (7-3, 1 KO) three times en route to a brutal second-round stoppage victory.

Potential airy heavyweight fighter Leon Hughes (5-0, 4 KO) defeated Mario Vergiev (8-5, 5 KO) in the third round.
