But the
quality of opposition has been limited, and
Turunc, from Antakya in Turkey but based in
Cyprus, is already forty years old.
So will
it be too early, or maybe too late, for him,
when he fights for the vacant Universal Boxing
Organization™ (UBO) International Cruiserweight
title on May 13 in Istanbul, live on TV 8,5?
His
opponent will be very experienced Tanzanian
champion Pascal Ndomba (25-11-2, 23 KOs), who
has participated in more championship fights
(10) than Turunc has bouts.
Ndomba
has 129 professional rounds under his belt,
while Turunc only has seven!

But despite
the odds not being in his favour, “The Cyprus
Ironfist”, as he is known, is ready to go for
glory in what is undoubtedly his toughest task to
date.
To his
advantage will be that Ndomba has in the past been
proven to have a questionable chin, but the
Tanzanian is also a very powerful man.
Turunc´s
best shot at victory is probably by overwhelming
Ndomba early, while Ndomba´s chances will likely
grow as the fight goes on.
A genuine
fifty-fifty fight between punchers, and it shapes
up to be an explosive affair.
Also on the
card, promoted by Serdar Avci Promotions, will be
Dilara Yucel
fighting for the UBO Female World Super
Welterweight title against Happy Daudi,
and an extremely interesting clash for the UBO
European Light Heavyweight title
between undefeated
prospects Emre Karaceper and Dzhamal Usmanov.
