Johnson faces tough test tonight against Quigley

Thu, Jul 18th 2019, 08:19 AM

The odds are against Tureano Johnson.

The Bahamian middleweight champion has not won a fight since March of 2017. He has fought twice in two years, resulting in a technical knockout loss (against Sergiv Derevyanchenko of the Ukraine) and a draw (against Fernando Castaneda of Mexico).

With lightweight boxer Edner Cherry retired, and Sherman “Tank” Williams at the ending portion of a significant career, Johnson is the biggest name active for The Bahamas in professional boxing.

The truth be told, his career could be on the line if he doesn’t look good against the undefeated Jason Quigley (16-0) tonight at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. No, it’s not “do or die” for the 35-year-old Johnson, but clearly, he needs to rebound. His career badly needs a bounce, and Quigley, the Irishman, shapes up as a tough test for Johnson.
