This is the moment a retired woman karate Champ is given a savage beating by her boxer husband – and says she plans to start training once more so it cannot happen again.

Iranian born Galavizh Ayoubi Amirabad, 32, stopped practising karate after moving to Turkey in 2015 where she married husband Zulkuf Coskun, 36, after they met in the south-eastern Turkish province of Adana where this shocking video was shot.

It shows the furious man beating his wife and telling her “even if I kill you, I will not be punished. The worst penalty I could get is three to five months at most. I will risk everything.”

The suspect also turns to the cameraperson believed to be the woman’s daughter and says: “I will destroy you.”

The footage also shows the suspect apparently hitting the woman and kicking her while she is on the ground.

The couple had a son together, who joined her 16-year-old daughter that she bought from a previous marriage.

But shortly after they tied the knot, the couple started to experience problems and he culminated in this violent attack in which he started to beat his wife punching her in the head, and then kicking her when she was on the ground.

He also threatened to do the same to his stepdaughter during the attack that left his wife with cuts and bruises including damage to her right hand which will now need to be operated on.

She said that her boxer husband had known exactly how to put out of action by punching her repeatedly in the head.
