Purportedly fought with the same style as Tiger Jack Fox. (i.e. hands down, throwing haymakers, clowning) When Turner arrived in Salem, Oregon in 1939, it was reported in the Oregon Statesman that he had boxed previously in Oakland. There is no record of him fighting in the Bay Area though, and he was reported in Washington papers as an amateur out of Toppenish, Washington prior to turning professional.
