However, Bivol will enter the ring for the main event, but only after his ex-wife has backed his opponent.
Following their messy divorce, Ekaterina has revealed details of alleged injuries on social media in a bid to help Beterbiev.
The former couple were married for 10 years after meeting on a flight in 2007 and tying the knot six years later.
They went on to have two children together but announced their separation last year.
However, in a social media attack, Ekaterina has given details of alleged injuries on the eve of the fight.

Ekaterina then signed off her post by adding: “But the main thing is that he is a coward! We need your victory, Artur.”
Bivol heads into Saturday’s bout unbeaten at 23-0 with 12 knockout victories.
Beterbiev is also undefeated as a professional, though, at 20-0 in his career.
The pair had initially been scheduled to face off in June before Beterbiev withdrew through injury.
Bivol went on to beat Malik Zinad via sixth round technical knockout instead before the undisputed clash was rescheduled for Saturday night.
