David Benavidez under the spotlight in first title defence
For a considerable amount of time, through no fault of his own, David Benavidez has been on the cusp of becoming a major name.
A frustrating pursuit of Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez at super middleweight ended in Benavidez making the move to light heavyweight.
Two wins at 175lbs have followed and now Benavidez is WBC light heavyweight champion after Dmitry Bivol vacated the belt.
The American's first world title defence will be against three-time challenger Anthony Yarde, and Benavidez will want to make a statement to the rest of the division.
A win for Benavidez would not only be the perfect end to 2025, but he will also finally announce himself to the rest of the boxing world as a must-watch world champion.
Third time lucky for Anthony Yarde?
Anthony Yarde is no stranger to boxing's biggest stage, he has challenged for the world light heavyweight title on two previous occasions.
Unfortunately, Yarde has come up short, first against Sergey Kovalev in 2019 and then former undisputed champion Artur Beterbiev four years later.
In Riyadh, Yarde has another chance to finally get a world title belt around his waist, but he will have to be at his very best.
At the age of 28, Benavidez is at the peak of his powers and has made no secret that he wants to dominate the division, therefore if Yarde wins, it will be a huge upset in the world of boxing.
Devin Haney faces knockout artist Brian Norman Jr.
Two-weight world champion Devin Haney will attempt to become a world titleholder at welterweight against WBO champion Brian Norman Jr.
After a rather uneventful win against Jose Ramirez in May, Haney steps into the ring with a world champion who has won his last three fights by knockout.
Norman Jr's fifth round knockout win against Jin Sasaki in June is a knockout of the year contender, but can he produce a similar finish when he meets Haney?
One thing is for sure, it will be an entertaining all-American matchup between two fighters at the top of their game.
A huge super flyweight unification fight
Queensberry/Leigh Dawney
WBC and WBO super flyweight champion Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez is one of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, and on November 22, he will look to continue hoovering up the world titles at 115lbs.
Rodriguez's next foe will be WBA champion Fernando Martinez who recently registered back-to-back wins over Kazuto Ioka in Japan and is undefeated in 18 professional fights.
This is a contest which is generating a lot of excitement with two styles that are set match well inside the ring.
Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes bid for world glory
The world title fights keep on coming at Ring IV and at lightweight, Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes square off for the vacant WBO lightweight title.
Ranked number one and number two with the WBO, Mason and Noakes are sure to produce an entertaining matchup.
If you look at the records of both men, there are knockouts galore and don't be surprised if it's the same in Riyadh tonight.
With this fight bringing together two fan-friendly fighters who are not afraid to let their hands go, this has the potential to steal the show at Ring IV.
