The highly-anticipated Riyadh Season pay-per-view event is hours away, headlined by the long-awaited light heavyweight title rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, which dates back to their first meeting last October.

Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) took a home a decision victory for the first time in his career over Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) – 114-114, 115-113, 116-112.

The majority decision marked Bivol's first professional loss, leaving several question marks as to howa rematch might play out.

Saturday night at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia will give fight fans those answers. Beterbiev is going to attempt to prove the first fight was no fluke, while Bivol wants to prove he is worthy of being an undisputed champion.

Artur Beterbiev Stays Brief, But Focused

Beterbiev and Bivol met the media for the final time ahead of their rematch. At this point, the hype is meaningless. Arguably the biggest non-heavyweight fight in boxing, if not the biggest boxing match this year, is so close both men could sense it.

“I was happy with the first fight because I won," Beterbiev said. "There are many things {I learned}. It’s too long to tell you. Let’s talk after the fight.”

Bivol remained confident, but serious. He has been manifesting another crack at the champion since the decision was awarded, recognizing this opportunity may be his last as an active fighter.

“All athletes want to win," Bivol said. "Just like gamblers. Of course, I didn’t win last time. And I really want to win. It’s burning inside of me. I want to change something because I can see where I was wrong at some points [of the fight]. And I want to change it. As an athlete, I want that.”

The event, dubbed "The Last Crescendo," kicks off a loaded day of combat sports, preceding UFC Seattle stateside shortly thereafter.

Below is the running bout order, as the event streams live on PPV.COM, DAZN pay-per-view, and Sky Sports (United Kingdom) beginning at 10 a.m. ET/7:30 a.m. PT for $25.99 USD and £19.99 Pounds.
