WBA cruiserweight champion Gilberto Ramirez and WBO ruler Chris Billam-Smith have made weight ahead of their unification clash in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
They will fight at the Sports Palace at the top of the bill of the Latino Night show staged by Golden Boy Promotions.
Having made weight, the two shared a long staredown and Billam-Smith said: “Tomorrow night, we get to unify the cruiserweight division. Nobody in this division can live with my intensity.”
“I feel great, I feel ready,” said Ramirez. “Thank you everyone for being here. We’re ready. Time to enjoy Saturday night.”
It is likely that the winner will go on to face IBF champion Jai Opetaia.

Buddy in the corner teaching.
the saudi fighter again is struggling with a jobber opponent
Props to Lukie for still being active.
im so glad they didnt offer this fight for a parlay...saudi cat stinks
oh yeah lukie does his thing bro...in this era of talking heads for media dude is still 100 with it...his content is always good in my book
almaayouf is nothing special...even with who he has in his corner...he struggles with a certain level of opponent for the spotlight he's been forced in...you can never sleep on a mexican boxer, no matter the level
there is no reason why this opener is going so hard right now...almaayouf is getting hands put on him in a back and forth by a jobber...garcia came to fight
He's really really bad defensively. Can't move and not putting his hands up.
