One of the biggest rematches of the year is good to go for Saturday.

Undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev and former WBA titleholder Dmitry Bivol made weight Friday before they square off for the second time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Beterbiev and Bivol weighed in at 175 and 174.1 pounds, respectively.

Beterbiev defeated Bivol by majority decision last October to retain the WBC, IBF, and WBO titles and add the WBA belt, becoming the first undisputed 175-pound champion since 2000.

Bivol, 23-1 as a professional, is looking to rebound from the first loss of his career. Beterbiev, meanwhile, holds a 21-0 career record with 20 knockout wins.
