David Benavidez led the charge Tuesday as participants from “The Ring IV: Night of the Champions” made their grand arrivals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Benavidez is set to defend his WBC light heavyweight title Saturday when he takes on Anthony Yarde in the main event of a card that will stream live on DAZN PPV beginning at 3 p.m. ET/8 p.m. GMT (UK: £24.99; US: $59.99).

Benavidez will be making his ring walk in the wee hours of the morning for his first fight outside of North American soil, and he’s adamant that he’s properly prepared for the foreign occasion and environment.

“I changed my sleeping schedule and have been going to sleep around 7 to 8 a.m. I feel like I should be good. This is why we are world champions. We have to adapt to anything that comes my way,” Benavidez said during an interview with The Ring’s senior insider Mike Coppinger and DAZN commentators Todd Grisham and Sergio Mora.

“[My weight cut] feels good. This is probably the easiest weight cut I’ve had. I have three pounds left to lose. Right now, I’m at 178 pounds. It’s been the easiest weight cut of my career. It’s been one of the best camps of my career. I’m excited. I know Anthony Yarde is coming in prepared, and I’m prepared myself.”

The bout between Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs) and Yarde (27-3, 24 KOs) features two of the world’s top-five light heavyweights. Benavidez is ranked No. 2 by The Ring, Yarde is rated No. 4.

Benavidez, a former two-time super middleweight beltholder, hasn’t scored a stoppage against Oleksandr Gvozdyk or David Morrell in either of his light heavyweight matchups. But “The Mexican Monster” believes he has the power and skills to knock out Yarde, just like former 175-pound kingpins Sergey Kovalev and Artur Beterbiev have as the Brit faded in fights after strong starts.

“I know it’s not true [that my power hasn’t carried up to light heavyweight]. I know for a fact that I can hurt these guys,” said Benavidez. “I hurt Gvozdyk and Morrell in my fights. I’ve gotten back to the basics for this camp using footwork, distance and head movement. We’re going to have to set up traps. These are bigger guys. Me walking them down is not going to work like I did at 168. Now I need to follow the game plan and work behind the jab.

“I’m not really too worried about the knockout. What I will say is that I will dominate like I do in every fight. I see a lot of opportunities hurting Yarde. I just have to follow the game plan.”

Benavidez also envisions beating Yarde in such a fierce fashion like he did against the likes of Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade that fans will start calling for him to headline traditional boxing weekends around Cinco De Mayo and Mexican Independence Day, dates that have been dominated by his elusive archrival Canelo Alvarez for more than a decade.

“I am not shying away from any hard fights,” said Benavidez. “I want Artur Beterbiev, Dmitry Bivol, Gilberto Ramirez, and Jai Opetaia. This is the only way to make a name for myself, and that’s the only way to take the dates. I want to be the person that takes all the biggest fights that fans want to see, and it’s exactly what we are going to do.”

Saturday's card card will also feature:

Abdullah Mason (19-0, 17 KOs) and Sam Noakes (17-0, 15 KOs) duking it out for the vacant WBO lightweight title.
