The pair have been on a collision course for several years and now finally get to settle their rivalry in a clash that promises to be the toughest of their respective careers.
Having arrived in the Middle East ahead of their battle, the pair have shown off their physiques as they approach the final stages of fight week.
And the pair looked in remarkable shape as they flexed for photos in front of the camera on media day.
Beterbiev looked in incredible nick, showing off a ripped six-pack in what appears to be his most noticeable frame yet.
Equally, Bivol looked jacked and in impressive condition, sending fans into a frenzy as the fight approaches.
They reacted on social media with one writing: “Never seen shape like this.
Another agreed: “Both absolutely chiselled.”
One added: “They are both absolutely frightening.”
A user continued: “Bro is 99 per cent muscle 1 per cent body fat.”
Some fans used it to shape predictions, with one writing: “Why am I getting scared as if I’m about to fight the man?

“Bivol is in for a world of pain come Saturday night.”
Another concluded: “Bivol has to work every second of 36 minutes. I hope the knee holds up and we get the war I think it will be.”
It is a huge fight for the traditional boxing fan, and one ticked off of the ideal list of potential match-ups between the top fighters in the world.
A win for either could be huge and could set up further fights with big-name opposition including Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez.
And Bivol has previewed the fight, insisting it is one of the biggest in the sport right now.
He said: “It’s like I did everything right in my life. Because this is my goal. This is my dream and the dream could come true.
“The main thing is that I realise my potential. I have a plan, I want to reach this goal and all of it – that people will recognise me, people will remember me. I will get some belts, it’s just a bonus.
“This is the two best light-heavyweight fighters in the world. It’s the undisputed fight and it’s two different boxing styles, two guys that don’t know what a loss is.
“This fight would be on my wishlist to watch. All undisputed fights I want to watch, because it’s what makes history.
“We have a lot of world championship fights, but undisputed fights we could count on our two hands.”
