Turchi had two more fights before fighting for his first regional title. On 11 March 2017, he beat Isossa Mondo on points and on 2 June 2017, he beat Tamas Kozma by a fourth-round technical knockout.[4] Following these two victories, Turchi was scheduled to face Cesar David Crenz for the vacant WBC International Silver cruiserweight title on 15 July 2017.[5] He won the fight by a fourth-round technical knockout.[6]

Turchi made his United States debut against Demetrius Banks on 1 December 2017.[7] He won the fight by a fourth-round stoppage, as Banks retired at the end of the round.[8] Turchi made his first WBC International Silver title defense against Dario German Balmaceda on 2 February 2018.[9] He won the fight by a first-round technical knockout, stopping Balmaceda at the very last second of the opening round.[10] Turchi made his second title defense against Tony Conquest on 30 November 2018. He won the fight by a seventh-round knockout.[11]

Turchi was expected to face Sami Enbom for the vacant WBC International cruiserweight title on 26 April 2019.[12] On 22 April, it was revealed that Enbom had withdrawn from the bout due to an undisclosed reason, and was replaced by Sami Enbom.[13] Turchi won the fight by a first-round knockout, stopping the Finnish boxer at the 1:16 minute mark of the opening round.[14] Turchi made his first WBC International title defense against Tommy McCarthy on 11 October 2019.[15] McCarthy won the fight by split decision. Two judges scored the fight 115–113 and 116–112 in favor of McCarthy, while the third judge scored the bout 116–112 for Turchi.[16]

Turchi was booked to face Nikolajs Grisunins for the vacant IBF International Cruiserweight title on 23 October 2020.
