WILLIAM “EL CAMARÓN” ZEPEDA, WBC INTERIM LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION:

“I am very excited, and very happy to face a fighter like Tevin Farmer who I was able to go toe-to-toe with,” said William Zepeda. “I tested my skills, and had to win round by round and was able to see the combination luck and talent help me win. Fans are going to see a fighter who is just as explosive. I learned a lot in those 10-rounds against Farmer, and in a training camp of 12 weeks I worked hard to be the best version of myself.”

TEVIN “2X” FARMER, FORMER 2-TIME WORLD CHAMPION:

“Everyone forgets how I got my world title the first time; I had to go to Australia to get my belts,” said Tevin Farmer. “I have been the underdog my entire career, and I have gone into the den and been the wolf that steals the goods.”

OSCAR DE LA HOYA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF GOLDEN BOY:

"We are so thankful to our partners, Pepe Gomez and Cancun Boxing, for being so hospitable and helping us organize this grand event. We are excited for the opportunity to grow and develop fighters here from Mexico, and be able to continue the legacy of great Mexican boxing."
