.RANDOLPH
TURPIN 1928 - 1966
Welcome
to RANDYTURPIN.com. This website is a tribute to a fantastic boxer and
champion. Most widely known for his dominant point's victory over arguably
the greatest boxer of all-time, Sugar Ray Robinson. Randolph Turpin remains
a hero in his hometown of Leamington, with a statue being erected in his
honour in 2001.
In his short but fascinating life, Randy brought joy and happiness to
thousands throughout Britain, by in 1951 becoming the first British holder
of the World Middleweight title for sixty years. He is still fondly
remembered in boxing, and was posthumously inducted into the International
Boxing Hall of Fame in 2001.
I created this website after searching the Internet and finding very
little information about Randy. I hope this site will become an interesting
place for people to remember the great Randolph Turpin. Feel free to leave
your comments and opinions in our
guestbook. |
