Overview
- A UBO light-heavyweight world title fight in Trabzon ended in a mass brawl after Sergey Gorokhov won by stoppage against Emirhan Kalkan at the Beşirli Sports Hall.
- Video shows corner teams shoving first, then dozens of spectators climbing into the ring and hurling plastic chairs as security struggled to contain the violence.
- Gorokhov said from a local hospital that his trainer, Ismail, suffered a head injury and was sent for an MRI, and he later posted that the team had left Turkey for Georgia.
- Kalkan said he regretted the scenes and questioned why the Russian coach was in their corner, while reports differ on whether the flashpoint followed the second or third round.
- Local authorities have opened an inquiry, and with no detailed statements yet from the UBO or promoters, coverage has leaned on widely shared clips and Turkish media reports about the smaller sanctioning body’s event.
