Is Raymond Muratalla vs. Tevin Farmer for a championship belt?
Despite the new level of importance ascribed to the bout, Raymond Muratalla's lightweight clash with Tevin Farmer will not be contested for a championship of any sort. Instead, it will be a fairly standard boxing match, with both men looking to add one more win to their respective résumés.
While Farmer has already held world championship gold, the same cannot be said for Muratalla, who has held the North American Boxing Federation lightweight title and WBO Global lightweight title, the latter of which is different from the regular WBO strap.
