And three days before the much-anticipated showdown, Beterbiev and Bivol took to the ring in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for their open workouts.
While Bivol opted to hit the pads, Beterbiev started off his routine by performing an insane wrist workout that left onlookers stunned.

He then transitioned into a hand stand on his forearms.
Beterbiev’s trademark drill helps build wrist and forearm strength, which are crucial components of punching power.
Reacting to his gruelling workout, one fan wrote: “He’s a machine, we’re in for a good one this Saturday.”
Another added: “This guy is a beast!”
A third tweeted: “Always thought Bivol would beat him but now I can’t decide.”
A fourth asked: “Why would you ever want to fight a man who trains like this?”
