ARTUR Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol have both hit the scales ahead of their undisputed light-heavyweight showdown tomorrow night.
The pair’s fiercely anticipated rematch will be staged in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Beterbiev edged a highly contentious majority decision last October.
A chief support matchup between Joseph Parker and Martin Bakole, meanwhile, was made just yesterday after IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois withdrew due to illness.
Unsurprisingly, Parker will enter the ring at a career-highest weight of 267lbs, though his ripped physique would suggest that any cakes and biscuits have been firmly removed from his diet.
Bakole, however, was unable to attend this evening’s ceremonial weigh-in, with an 11-hour flight from the Democratic Republic of the Congo keeping him high in the sky.
Nevertheless, every other fighter on this stacked card has now stepped onto the scales after recording their official weights earlier today.
