An unprecedented scandal has occurred in Serbia, during a kickboxing match.
Violence erupted inside the ring shortly after the Greek boxer knocked his Serbian opponent to the mat. That was enough to make the attack on kickboxer Giannis Tsoukalas after a big win in Serbia unbelievable.
His teammate Pavlos Kochliaridis, who was in Tsoukalas' corner, described the scenes of chaos that followed immediately after the Greek boxer knocked out Vahid Kitsaras, for the WKU professional world title, at 67kg.
From the videos that have come to light, dozens of people can be seen invading the ring and attacking Tsoukalas and his team, in the fight that took place in the city of Novi Pazar in Serbia.
In fact, the man seen in the video coldly hitting the Greek athlete is the brother of Vahid Kitsaras, the defeated boxer.
Pavlos Kochliaridis, one of the most experienced boxers in the country and PAOK's coach, described to "Fightsports.gr" the horrific events that took place in Serbia after Tsoukalas' victory.

According to him, it was fortunate that there were no casualties after the chaos that prevailed in the ring, while the discovery that one of the participants was carrying a knife at the time of the shocking incident is shocking.
According to media in Serbia, members of Kitsaras' team entered the ring and attacked the Greek athlete.
In fact, the Serbian fighter's brother reportedly punched Tsoukalas in the face as he knelt to pray for victory.
