A confrontation between Turkish and Russian representatives at a boxing night held in Trabzon, Turkey, resulted in a mass brawl.
İdman.Biz reports that local boxer Emirhan Kalkan faced his Russian opponent Sergey Gorokhov for the UBO world championship belt. Tension arose between the parties in the third round of the match.
Allegedly, a disrespectful act committed by the Russian representative's team fueled passions in the ring. Dozens of people intervened in the rapidly escalating dispute, and the ring turned into a battlefield. Participants threw chairs at each other, and the security service struggled to quell the kicking and punching fight.
Due to the incident, the fight was stopped midway, and investigations into the matter have begun.
