The Belfast super-featherweight will face champion Tevin Farmer for the belt and Tennyson knows that he will have to be at his best for the biggest fight of his life.

"It will be a tough fight and Farmer is a good boxer. But in my last few fights we have had guys who fight in the style that Farmer fights.He is a tricky southpaw so I will have to hunt him down and get the job done.

"I am prepared to go the full 12 rounds but hopefully I can hunt him down and get the stoppage."
