Turman, unfortunately, wasn’t able to build on his win against Markus Perez last year. ‘The Prodigy’ suffered his first knockout as a professional competitor in twenty completed fights.
The 32-year-old’s triumph should ensure he has momentum heading into the end of the year where he will look to fight again. This is because he did not sustain a lot of damage and will look to make the most of possibly no medical suspension.
