Light-heavyweights David Benavidez and Anthony Yarde have both weighed in inside the 175 lbs limit ahead of their WBC title clash on Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Benavidez, the champion, tipped the scales at a weight of 174.3 lbs, while Yarde, the challenger, weighed 173.9 lbs.
Benavidez, who was once a champion at super-middleweight, will be having just his third fight at light-heavyweight on Saturday and has so far beaten Oleksandr Gvozdyk and David Morrell at the weight. Yarde, meanwhile, is about to embark on his third shot at a world title, having fallen short in previous attempts against Sergey Kovalev, in 2019, and Artur Beterbiev, in 2023.
Their fight tomorrow night is the official headliner of a show full of potential headliners.
