"I am really happy. I arrived at the academy, in Connecticut (USA), at the worst stage of my career and now I am at the best stage of my career, with two consecutive victories. And that's just the beginning. We work very hard, I try very hard. I'm young, I'm training with the best, with Fernely (Feliz Jr), with Glover, (Alex) Poatan, Plínio (Cruz), so there's no way around it, now it's all up,” said Turman.
