Liverpool fighter with 12 stoppages in 13 fights says he is ready for a world title fight tomorrow
Ring 6: López vs Stevenson on DAZN PPV - Jan 31
Jack Turner is still in the early stages of his career, but the Liverpool youngster has no problem testing himself against the best fighters in the world.
A professional for nearly three years, Turner has already built a solid reputation as a fan-friendly puncher who has delighted audiences whenever he has fought.
Raised in Croxteth, the same neighborhood that nurtured Wayne Rooney, Turner has admitted that his plan is to emulate the footballing superstar in the boxing world, and that mission is off to a solid start as he currently stands at 13-0 with 12 stoppages.
The RingTurner fights at super-flyweight despite going up and down in weight in recent fights, but headline spots in his home city for the biggest prizes is where he wants to be moving forward after watching Ball occupy that position.
Awaiting Turner this weekend is Juan Carlos Martinez and even though victory will unlikely open the door for world title shots immediately, Turner is more than content to see how good he is if the biggest tests in his weight class present themselves to him.
“It’s down to my team and my managers, but listen, I’m not bothered, I will fight anyone,” said Turner when speaking exclusively to DAZN News ahead of his fight this weekend.
“I’ll fight anyone tomorrow if I could. I just love fighting. But you've got to look at things properly and do it step by step. I’m still only young. I’m in no rush, but I’d love to fight for a world title.
“People know that boxing is all about timing and when the time is right, I’ll capture that big moment with both hands.”
