Tevin Farmer-James Tennyson, Galahad-Kahn Clary on Oct. 20

By Elliot Foster

James Tennyson will challenge for a world title in his next fight.

The reigning Commonwealth and European super-featherweight title holder is set to take on Tevin Farmer, the IBF king, in a couple of months' time.

Tennyson has been out of the ring since knocking out Martin Joseph Ward at the O2 Arena in London back in May, exclusively live on Sky Sports Box Office.

But the 25-year-old (22-2, 18 KOs) will be back on October 20 against the American, who won the belt against Billy Dib in Australia earlier this month.

The fight will take place at the TD Garden in Boston, exclusively live on Sky Sports and on DAZN Stateside, as part of the supporting cast to Billy Joe Saunders' mandatory defence of the WBO middleweight world title against Demetrius Andrade and Katie Taylor's latest defence of her WBA and IBF female lightweight titles against Cindy Serrano.

The card will also feature Kid Galahad's clash against Toka Kahn Clary, which doubles up as a final eliminator for the IBF featherweight crown currently held by Josh Warrington, a US debut for Tommy Coyle and a return for former world super-bantamweight champion Scott Quigg.

Mark DeLuca, Niall Kennedy and Danny O'Connor will also feature on the bill, with further additions to be revealed in due course.
