Tureano Johnson A Throwback
Fighter In The Making
In pure throwback style, undefeated middleweight prospect,
Tureano Johnson (13-0, 10 KOs), recorded two knockouts in
four days when he traveled to the Dominican Republic and
defeated Jonalis Reyes on September 29th, followed by a
third round stoppage of Jose Morla on October 2nd.
Promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, Johnson who hails from
the Bahamas is on the fast track up the middleweight
rankings. Known for having power in both hands, Johnson
seeks a meaningful fight next time out.
"Right now I'm feeling really strong and all my punches are
accurate," said Johnson. "I'm going to continue to work hard
in the gym and see what the big boss Gary Shaw has lined up
for me. I know GSP is working hard to get me right back in
the ring. I feel I'm ready to step up the competition."
"Tureano is an incredible fighter with a great work ethic,"
Shaw said. "That's all you can ask for when you sign a
blue-chip prospect like Johnson. The fact the he went to the
Dominican Republic and won two fights in four days by
knockout lets me know I have a great fighter on my team. I'm
working hard to get him on a bigger stage next time he steps
in the ring."
In the amateurs, Johnson represented the Bahamas in the 2008
Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and is considered the best
fighter to ever come out of his native land.
