Hide AdBlunt will compete at -33kg and Turner in the -41kg in Tashkent in August. The pair both represent Ultimate Taekwondo.
Owen is the younger cousin of boxing champions Jamie and Gavin McDonnell.
He started doing Taekwondo aged just five and became one of the youngest WTF Black Belts in the country at the age of eight before going on to win multiple British titles.
Turner won a bronze medal at the Polish Open and also represented British at the Cadet European Championships.

Sinden, from Stainforth, came from behind to defeat Javier Polo Perez of Spain and win the men’s -68kg title earlier this month.
