Jack Turner’s latest ring appearance lasted all of 65 seconds. In that time, the 22-year-old Liverpudlian dropped Peru’s Piero Aponte three times.
Turner, 10-0 (9 KOs), has boxed seven times in 2024, accumulating a grand total of 14 rounds’ action. He has forged his reputation at bantamweight but looked in the best shape of his career after weighing in at 114lbs for Friday night’s fight.
Aponte offered precious little resistance but Turner has displayed enough in his short-but-explosive career to suggest that he has the type of natural power that should reap rewards at a much higher level. The vicious uppercut that previously laid out Argentina’s Gonzalo Corinaldesi was perfectly timed, and frightening.
