Turpin, who defeated Robinson in one of boxing history's biggest upsets, fought 73 professional bouts since his first money fight on Sept. 17, 1946, winning 64 and losing eight with five knockouts. He started as a Royal Navy cook during World War II and won the British middleweight title by knocking out Finch on Oct. 17, 1950, a prelude to his world title win over Robinson.
