Wayne Turner (kickboxer)

Wayne "Homeboy" Turner, alternatively spelt Waine, (born April 21, 1967) is a Birmingham based Kickboxer from Smethwick. He is a former ISKA World Cruiserweight Kickboxing Champion. Turner had retired in 2004 aged 37, but he was tempted back into the ring in 2007 after being offered a World title shot - an opportunity that had eluded him until that point. Fighting at the site of his very first amateur bout, Dudley Concert Hall, "Homeboy" defeated Paul Hill on points after twelve rounds - having knocked him down in the ninth - on April 15th 2007. Turner had originally been scheduled to fight Alessandro Venditti; the Italian had to pull out for personal reasons. In his 20-year-long career Turner had previously held both the WKA British and European Cruiserweight belts, and claimed a Bronze medal at the Amateur World Championships.

Turner lost his world title to Daniel "Pinta" Quigley on 17 May 2008 in Letterkenny County Donegal.
