A Fierce Battle
The fight between Turpin and Bata consisted of five rounds of intense slapping. While Turpin delivered a fierce strike in the first round, Bata retaliated in the following round.

The Gruesome Aftermath
Just days after the defeat, Turpin took to Instagram to share the horrific aftermath of the fight. His head was massively swollen, and severe bruising forced his eye shut. Turpin humorously captioned the post, "Keep an eye out for me," accompanied by the song 'If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough.'
Ready for Redemption
