The boxing world is set to come to a halt on Saturday night when Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury meet in a rematch for the WBA, WBC and WBO world heavyweight titles.
The fight, which will be broadcast live on DAZN PPV, will see Fury out for revenge against the Ukranian after winning the first contest in May by split decision.
Ahead of the opening bell in Riyadh, DAZN News has everything you need to know about the three judges and the referee for this huge sporting event.
Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2: Who are the judges?
The three ringside judges for the rematch are as follows.
- Ignacio Robles, Panama
- Patrick Morley, USA
- Gerardo Martinez, Puerto Rico
This however was not the original slate of judges set to officiate the contest.
Miami's Fernando Barbosa was scheduled to be ringside, but an illness stopped him from travelling to Riyadh, upon which he was originally replaced by Steve Weisfeld.
However, disagreements between whether the latter or Robles should fill the gap broke out between both camps, with a coin toss ultimately meaning the man from Panama got the nod.
It has also been announced that an AI judge will be in operation for this fight, but this technological innovation will have no sway in the final result.

Puerto Rico's Robert Ramirez Jr. will be the third man in the ring when Usyk and Fury face each other for a second time.
Ramirez Jr. is no stranger to big fight nights such as last year's rematch between Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron. However, he did get criticised by Cameron's trainer Jamie Moore for not ruling a knockdown in a majority decision loss.
