William Zepeda edges Tevin Farmer again in thrilling rematch to defend WBC interim lightweight title

Uncrowned has William Zepeda vs. Tevin Farmer 2 live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Zepeda vs. Farmer fight card on Saturday night at the Poliforum Benito Juarez in Cancun, Mexico. Zepeda looks to defend his WBC interim lightweight title in a rematch against Farmer following the pair’s first battle in November, which Zepeda won via split decision.

Zepeda (32-0, 27 KOs) survived a fourth-round knockdown in his first fight with Farmer to edge out the polarizing 10-round decision at the Riyadh Season: Latino Night event. A 28-year-old hailing from San Mateo Atenco, Mexico, Zepeda has added former champions Maxi Hughes, René Alvarado and Joseph Diaz to his fast-growing résumé since making his professional boxing debut in late 2015.

A former IBF super featherweight champion, Farmer (33-7-1, 1 NC) hopes to end the first two-fight losing streak of his career after dropping back-to-back decisions against Raymond Muratalla and Zepeda in 2024. Prior to that, the 34-year-old Philadelphia native won three consecutive bouts to successfully rebound from his IBF title loss to Diaz in 2020.

In the night’s chief support, WBO and WBA strawweight champion Oscar Collazo (11-0, 8 KOs) of Puerto Rico defends his titles against Mexico’s Edwin Cano (13-2, 4 KOs).

The Zepeda vs. Farmer 2 fight card begins at 8 p.m. ET on DAZN, with main event ring walks expected around 11 p.m. ET.
