THE REMATCH: WBC INTERIM LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION WILLIAM "EL CAMARÓN" ZEPEDA DEFENDS TITLE AGAINST TEVIN “2X” FARMER IN HIGH-STAKES CLASH

PhilBoxing.com





LIVE FROM CANCUN AND EXCLUSIVELY BROADCAST ON DAZN

CANCÚN, Quintana Roo, México (Feb. 13, 2025) — Months after a thrilling, toe-to-toe battle that left fans eager for more, boxing’s most electrifying, undefeated machine—WBC Interim Lightweight World Champion William "El Camarón" Zepeda (31-0, 26 KOs) of San Mateo Atenco, Mexico—and former IBF super featherweight champion Tevin "2X" Farmer (33-7-1, 8 KOs) of Philadelphia have agreed to a highly anticipated rematch of their November 2024 showdown. The 12-round fight for Zepeda’s WBC interim title is set for March 29 at the Poliforum Benito Juarez in Cancún, Mexico, in association with Cancún Boxing and will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN.

"I've trained hard for years to earn this world title, and I'm proud to get back in the ring and defend it in this highly anticipated rematch against Tevin Farmer,” said William Zepeda. “The fans asked for it, and I'm ready to give them an even better version of myself. I'll leave no doubt in anyone's mind that I'm the clear winner."

“I was off for 3.5 years, and fighting him the first time was the first time I felt somewhat comfortable in the ring. Ring rust is real, but now it’s all gone,” said Tevin Farmer. “Last time, I let him live and let him do more than I should have. This time, there’s no mercy. He’s not on my level, and on March 29, I’m not just winning—I’m making a statement. I’m going to show the world that I’m still A top dog in this game. Never doubt Tevin Farmer. Y’all should know that by now—I’m like a fly you can’t get rid of. I just keep coming back. Just tune in on March 29 on DAZN and watch me become a 2x world champion.”

“The first time these two stars went to war, I advised everyone to not sleep on Farmer; and he delivered a terrific performance, knocking down Zepeda and giving him the toughest fight of his career,” said Oscar De La Hoya. “This rematch promises to be an even better battle. Will Zepeda be able to adjust and get back to his electric, knockout ways, or will Farmer do enough to win this time? This is must see TV for fans on March 29.”

Additional information on event tickets, undercard and media credentials will be announced in the coming weeks.

An undefeated knockout machine that has an endless supply of energy that entertains fans with nonstop action from the first bell, WBC Interim World Champion William Zepeda has become a household name as one of the most must-watch electric fighters in the lightweight division. His breakout upset performance was against former world champion Joseph “JoJo” Diaz in October 2022, where he broke three CompuBox records at lightweight for total punches thrown, jabs attempted in a round, and total attempted jabs. He steamrolled through former world champion Maxi Hughes, whose corner threw the towel at the conclusion of the fourth round in an IBF and WBA World Championship eliminator fight last March 2024 and stopped Giovanni Cabrera for the first time in his career July 2024. His last fight was featured on the Riyadh Season’s “Latino Night” card last November 2024, where he went the distance for the first time in two years in a tough, toe-to-toe match against Tevin Farmer and took home the WBC Interim Lightweight belt with a split decision win.

No stranger to the limelight, former IBF Super Featherweight World Champion Tevin Farmer (33-6-1, 8 KO’s) is comfortable fighting on a big stage. With a slick, defensive style and southpaw stance, Farmer has accomplished everything in the sport of boxing including winning the IBF World Super Featherweight Championship and successfully defending it four times. In 2024 he suffered a razor thin loss against Raymond Muratalla. He gave a brilliant performance against William Zepeda on the Latino Night card, giving Zepeda a tough fight. Despite the valiant effort, he lost via split decision with scores of 94-95, 95-94, and 94-95. In their scheduled rematch, Farmer is ready to prove that he’s here to stay, and promises that Zepeda won’t make it past him.
