Azerbaijani karate legend, known as the "Black Diamond" of the sport, Rafael Aghayev has undergone surgery — and not just once, but twice in a single day.

As reported by Offsideplus.az, Aghayev shared the news on his Instagram account, revealing that he had two procedures performed on the same day.

The first surgery was to correct a deviated nasal septum, while the second was due to three bone fractures in his hand.
