Tevin Farmer Wasting No Time, Set To Return on December 2
By Francisco Salazar
Fresh off his win Friday night, junior lightweight contender Tevin Farmer will return to action on December 2, Russell Peltz recently announced.
Farmer will fight in a 10 round bout at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia resident will be defending his NABF title that night. An opponent has yet to be announced to face Farmer.
The 26-year-old Farmer (23-4-1, 5 KOs) defeated Orlando Rizo by unanimous decision over eight rounds, which also took place at the 2300 Arena.
Farmer has now won his last 16 bouts since his loss to Jose Pedraza over four years ago. He is currently ranked number five by the WBC at 130 pounds.
Farmer, who is promoted by Lou DiBella, scored an impressive 10 round decision over Ivan Redkach on July 30 in Brooklyn, N.Y.
IN OTHER NEWS: Frenchman Christopher Sebire has been in some tough fights against some very tough opponents. He has had tough luck, and his share of success, but on Saturday October 22 he is looking for his crowning moment after more than twelve years of paying his dues.
In the glorious setting that is the Cirque Jules Verne, a historic venue in Amiens, France built in 1889, “Christo” Sebire (31) fights Argentina’s Martin Antonio Coggi for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Light Welterweight title.
Sebire, 24-9-1 (9), turned pro in February 2004, and worked his way towards winning the French national title in 2009 with a unanimous decision over Rachid Drilzane. He retained the title twice against good challengers, Loic Foure and Abdoulaye Soukouna, before coming up short by majority decision in a rematch with the latter.
