But it was Bivol who came in the marginally heavier of the two, weighing 174.12lbs, a shade under the division limit, at Friday's final ceremonies before the big day itself.
Beterbiev meanwhile weighed 174.9lbs, with both men cutting relaxed figures with spectacular physiques throughout as they engaged in a stoic face-off before parting ways.
Despite weighing more, Bivol appeared to be the slighter of the two as they stood next to one another, but vocal support from the crowd suggests he may be a home favourite.
