Tevin Farmer's girlfriend is his rock—how crucial is a supportive partner in a boxer's career?

Once a possible opponent for Gervonta Davis, Tevin Farmer proved to be a formidable competitor in the super featherweight division. He was the IBF super featherweight champion until 2020 when he lost it to JoJo Diaz. After this, he made his move to the lightweight division, where he is now trying to climb up the ranks until a title shot presents itself. Recently, the 33-year-old boxer suffered a unanimous decision loss against undefeated lightweight contender Raymond Muratalla at the Palms Casino and Resort in Las Vegas. But the fight caught the attention of the boxing community, not for the loss Tevin Farmer suffered, but for what happened after.

As legendary writer Mark Twain once stated, “Behind every successful man, there is a woman.” For Farmer, it has been his girlfriend – Poca. The boxer has never hesitated to express his affection for his significant other. Let’s look into who his girlfriend is and how she came into his life.

She believes that one should prioritize skincare more than wearing a lot of makeup. Her products include a facial scrubber, moisturizer, facial toner, and more. Talking about her relationship, Poca stated, “Relationships are based upon respect for one another. And we work at it every day. The biggest thing about relationships is communication. So we communicate. We make sure our foundation is good. So that way, even though we are exposing our personal and private life to the world, we don’t let that change what we have going on.”

Moreover, there are multiple videos on YouTube where the couple is seen together. The boxer seems to be deeply in love with his partner. He once threw a huge party for her birthday and bought her a brand-new Mercedes car. Additionally, he also gifted her a diamond watch. Even she doesn’t leave a chance to become his biggest supporter in his lows either. This is the moment that caught the internet’s attention.
