Henry Turner chose his nickname after working hard to help his family run amusement parks across the country, but “The Showman” began to make a name for himself in the ring.
– When you are young, this is the life you dream of. You go to meet your friends and have fun at the market. – When I grew up and started boxing, my mother and father could not continue. Basically, we are still in the art community and we still know each other. I represent the players. All my friends are doing shows and dancing. We are very close to him. My sister got married in the market, so she worked hard.
The super mom competed in shooting competitions, swinging and selling candy at the fairgrounds, but now she has found success in a more serious sport. He has managed to build on a 12-fight unbeaten run and has continued to climb the British 140-pound ranks over the past 12 months, defeating strong domestic rivals such as with Tom Farrell and Billy Arrington. Turner is a good boxer who continues to build on his strength. He has stopped three of his last four opponents and is developing into a good boxer. Now, the 23-year-old illustrator needs more experience.
This week he will face Colombia’s Mecole Mendoza, 16-4 (14 KOs), at York Hall in London.

– The last two matches were home matches and I improved my game every time. I was supposed to fight another home boy at this event – a 16-0 guy [Brad Townsend] – but unfortunately he pulled out with an injury, so I fought a guy who could the fight against Colombian children. He has 16 wins in 20 fights, 14 by knockout. “It’s going to be a tough fight, but it’s a fight that has to be fought to get there,” Turner said.
“I’ve worked hard against the guys he’s beaten and every guy he’s beaten, if I boxed them they’d have an unbeaten record. You have to be very careful because he can kill quite a bit, if he doesn’t knock people over.
Although Mendoza’s number is unknown, British boxing fans have no warning of the danger that could come from the Colombian tyrant. The 23-year-old was born in Barranquilla; the town where Breidis Prescott grew up. Amir Khan.
Turner will be ready for whatever Mendoza throws at him. He trains with British and Commonwealth champion Sam Knox. Knox challenged Ivan Mendy for the European title on Saturday and the pair have battled it out in several rounds, helping each other out.
——I looked at him and saw that he was less angry. He kicked his back leg,” said Turner.
——I’ve boxed the Argentinian before, and he has a very good fight record. I’ve been in this situation before, and I’m very aggressive in preparation. for this fight. I’m supposed to fight Bradley Townsend, who’s aggressive and orthodox, so I’ll be fighting Sam Noakes in eight to 10 weeks, so if he’s good enough to step up, I think I’ll be fine. You can’t beat Sam Knox.
