Biography[]
Yuri Gorsoy was born in Estonia in 1974 and was renowned for his great size and strength, which allowed for him to have a successful wrestling career. The Russian Mafia boss Viktor Skobel recruited Gorsoy as one of his lieutenants, and he took part in the Skobel Gang's move to London in 2004. That year, he met with Yardies representative Lewis Tyler at Platform 4 of the Holborn tube station to make a public cash exchange, but the deal was crashed by the SO19 police force. Gorsoy was able to escape, and he later killed Jimmer Collins while searching for a stolen Orthodox icon which contained several rare diamonds. He was later tracked down to Skobel's warehouse by SO19, and, in the ensuing fight, he was beaten to death by Eddie O'Connor.
