Turkish

Turkish is a boxing promoter, owner of a slot machine shop, and narrator of the movie. He owns his business in partnership with Tommy, someone he has known since childhood. When he is first introduced he is preparing for a fight between one of his boxers, 'Gorgeous' George, and an unnamed fighter from Brick Top's stable, something he would prefer not to be involved in as he knows he will end up owing Brick Top something.

He also needs a new caravan which he sends Tommy to purchase from Mickey. When the caravan suffers a catastrophic breakdown before Tommy leaves the camp, Mickey agrees to refund the purchase price if Gorgeous George will fight him, to which Tommy agrees. Mickey knocks George out, leaving Turkish without a fighter, making him more indebted to Brick Top.
