Beterbiev holds the WBC, IBF and WBO titles at 175lbs, beating the likes of Brit stars Anthony Yarde and Callum Smith on the way.

Bivol is the WBA titleholder and is best known for handing Canelo Alvarez the second loss of his career two years ago.

Bivol overcame replacement opponent Malik Zinad on June 1, knocking him out in the sixth round to set up a rescheduled bout with Beterbiev.

The winner will be defined as the best 175lb fighter of a generation, so there's plenty more than belts on the line in Riyadh.
