Watch Dubois vs Parker Feb 22 live on DAZN
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.”
