William Zepeda and Tevin Farmer are set to face off again in the ring. The two fighters will meet for a rematch on March 29, 2025, in Cancun, Mexico.
The boxers will compete for the WBC interim lightweight championship at the Poliforum Benito Juarez. Their first encounter in November 2024 in Saudi Arabia ended in a split decision win for Zepeda, but the result left many wondering who really won.
Zepeda, known as "Camaron," comes into the fight with an impressive 32-0-0 record, including 27 knockouts. He's made a name for himself with his aggressive style and ability to wear down opponents. As the current WBC interim lightweight champion, Zepeda wants to keep his dominance in the division.
On the other side, Farmer brings a 33-7-1 record to the ring, with 8 knockouts. He's had a mixed run lately, going 3-2 in his last five fights. Farmer lost to Raymond Muratalla in July 2024 before his controversial defeat to Zepeda. Despite these setbacks, Farmer's defensive skills and experience make him a tough opponent.
The first fight between Zepeda and Farmer went the full 10 rounds. Two judges scored it 95-94 for Zepeda, while one gave the same score to Farmer. The close nature of the bout led to calls for a rematch, which has now been arranged.
For the upcoming fight, Zepeda will likely try to use his power and agility to control the match. Farmer, on the other hand, aims to prove he can turn the tables and secure a win this time around.
The rematch is scheduled for 12 rounds and will start at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday, March 29, 2025. The event promises to be a big night for boxing fans, with several other high-level bouts planned on the card.
As the fighters prepare for their second meeting, both have something to prove. Zepeda wants to show his first win wasn't a fluke, while Farmer is eager to even the score. With so much on the line, this rematch could be an unforgettable night of boxing action.
