Tevin Farmer Ring Return Eyed For March 25th on ShoBox
By Francisco Salazar
Junior lightweight Tevin Farmer could return to the ring on March 25 as part of a ShoBox card, it was told to BoxingScene.com over the weekend.
Farmer (20-4-1, 5 KOs) has not fought since August 8, when he scored an impressive eighth round knockout win over former world title challenger Daulis Prescott. The fight was broadcast live on HBO Latino and before an almost-sellout crowd at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif.
Farmer has now won 13 bouts in a row. During that stretch, he has defeated three unbeaten fighters.
When reached early Monday afternoon, Lou DiBella, who promotes Farmer, only stated he is working to secure a fight as soon as possible for the Philadelphia fighter.
"The kid has won 13 fights in a row ... It's just frustrating that fighters I reach out to have turned down fighting Tevin."
Farmer has not lost since October of 2012, when he was stopped by Jose Pedraza in the eighth and final round.
