Eugene Henderson

World Middleweight Championship


British boxer Randolph Turpin astonished the world by snatching the world middleweight crown from the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson. In what remains one of the most surprising turnabouts in boxing history, Turpin outmatched Robinson with his unique style and unparalleled strength, winning a clear 15-round decision. However, his victory was short-lived. In a rapid rematch just 64 days later in New York, a rejuvenated Robinson, intent on reclaiming his title, came back with a vengeance. Despite a strong start from Turpin, Robinson regained his title, winning through a knockout, leaving Turpin reeling.
