Lightweight contenders Frank Martin and Michel Rivera on Friday made weight for their title eliminator Saturday night at Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (Showtime).

Rivera (24-0, 14 KOs) is coming off a one-sided eight-round decision over Jerry Perez in October. Martin last fought in July, when he stopped Jackson Marinez in the 10th and final round.

The fight is being billed as a WBA title eliminator. Rivera is ranked No. 2 by the sanctioning body, Martin No. 10.

Devin Haney is the undisputed 135-pound champion.
