The two men faced off one last time ahead of their bout this weekend as they took to the scales in the final ceremonies.

Artur Beterbiev came in under Dmitry Bivol at the weigh-in ahead of their blockbuster encounter this weekend atop Riyadh Season's IV Crown Showdown live on DAZN.

The two will put their combined four IBF, WBC, WBO and WBA titles on the line meet in an undisputed light-heavyweight bout at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

Both men enter the contest boasting undefeated records, with Beterbiev having also recorded every one of his victories by knockout across a 20-0 professional career.

But it was Bivol who came in the marginally heavier of the two, weighing 174.12lbs, a shade under the division limit, at Friday's final ceremonies before the big day itself.

Beterbiev meanwhile weighed 174.9lbs, with both men cutting relaxed figures with spectacular physiques throughout as they engaged in a stoic face-off before parting ways.

Despite weighing more, Bivol appeared to be the slighter of the two as they stood next to one another, but vocal support from the crowd suggests he may be a home favourite.
