'Be me!' - At final face-off, Gilberto Ramirez and Chris Billam-Smith ready for date with destiny
Watch Zurdo vs. Billam-Smith Saturday FREE on DAZN
Gilberto Ramirez and Chris Billam-Smith cut respectful, but confident figures in their final face-off at the weigh-in before Riyadh Season Latino Night live on DAZN for free.
The two men meet atop a stacked bill at The Venue in Saudi Arabia, as they both bid to become unified cruiserweight champion in what promises to be a thrilling contest.

Zurdo will put his WBA crown on the line, while Billam-Smith will bring his WBO belt to the table, with both men looking to avoid what would be the second loss of their career.
Face-to-face after they had both weighed in, Ramirez cracked a grin while Billam-Smith remained impassive, but there was no tricks or tomfoolery from either fighter.
Asked afterwards how he feels about the bout, Zurdo - who has fought his way to cruiserweight through super-middleweight and light-heavyweight - exuded calm confidence.
"I feel great," he said when asked on how he was handling the preludes beforehand. "I feel ready. We're ready. Everything is set up. It's time to enjoy the fight on Saturday night."
Billam-Smith, forging new ground outside of his native United Kingdom, also cut a particularly relaxed approach, and suggested he knows exactly how to come out on top.
"Tomorrow night, we get to unify the cruiserweight division," he said of the occasion. "[I just need to] be me. Nobody in this division can live with my intensity."
When both enter the ring on Saturday night, only one will be leaving with both titles - and with the spectre of further unification bouts to come, there is plenty at stake for both men.
