Ring IV: David Benavidez, Anthony Yarde make weight, Devin Haney, Brian Norman Jr. get very heated at weigh-ins
It was the final time the fighters would see each other before Saturday's The Ring IV: Night of the Champions card commences from the ANB Arena in RIyadh, Saudi Arabia, live and exclusive on DAZN PPV.
Before the fighters step into the ring, they got one final glimpse of each other before the punches start flying at Friday's ceremonial weigh-in, as they officially weighed in early in the day.

All fighters made weight relatively easily, but the fun was just beginning. During the staredown between super featherweight champions Jesse Rodriguez and Fernando Martinez, the latter decided to try the same antics as Friday by bum-rushing the former. But security got in close enough to prevent anything further from happening as Rodriguez laughed and put his thumbs down in booing Martinez.
"There are clowns," Rodriguez told DAZN's Claudia Trejos. "Tomorrow, I'm going to tame this little kiddie."
Then Devin Haney and Brian Norman Jr. squared off ahead of the co-main event for the WBC welterweight title. You could feel the tension between the two rivals as they stared deeply into each other's eyes for nearly two minutes. Haney bounced a couple of times, but Norman wasn't biting. The intense staredown even when finally separated, as Haney and Norman continued to glare at one another.
Benavidez and Yarde had a friendly and respectful exchange ahead of their main event clash.
Below are the weights for The Ring IV.
