He suffered his last defeat in 2012, against Jose Pedraza, but then he has collected 20 victories and one no-contest defeating Billy Dib (Tevin Farmer vs Billy Dib) and James Tennyson in 2018 (Tevin Farmer vs James Tennyson).
His opponent, Francisco Fonseca, has an official boxing record of 22-1-1 (16 knockouts) and he entered as the No.46 in the same weight class. He lost to Gervonta Davis last year (Gervonta Davis vs Francisco Fonseca) but then he has beat Joel Blanco, Daniel Miranda and Sandro Hernandez.

The tough Fonseca hung in there, but Farmer is simply in another class. Kudos to the opponent, though, who was the only fighter on this awful DAZN card to put up any significant resistance.
