Tyson Fury continues to warm up for a potential super-fight with Anthony Joshua as he battles Mariusz Wach today.
The former world heavyweight champion is in Thailand - where he now holds his training camps - as he competes in front of a crowd totalling only 1,500 spectators at the Max Muay Thai Stadium, with the money raised going to charity.

It is only Fury’s second bout since he ended his latest retirement from the sport that lasted for 15 months in the aftermath of successive defeats by Oleksandr Usyk, having dominated Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov in a wide points win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April.
The self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ now makes a quick return to the ring to face Polish ‘Viking’ Wach, a 46-year-old veteran of boxing’s glamour division who once challenged Wladimir Klitschko for world title glory but has lost seven of his last 10 fights since 2020 - including against the likes of Moses Itauma, Frazer Clarke, Makhmudov and Tyson’s cousin Hughie Fury.
Fury has chosen to line up his next fight to take place a day before Joshua meets Kristian Prenga in Riyadh.
That will be Joshua’s first bout since knocking out Jake Paul in December, having sustained minor injuries as a passenger in a serious car accident in Nigeria later that month that claimed the lives of two of his long-time friends and team members in Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele.
There is hope that two comfortable wins for Fury and Joshua in the space of 24 hours may finally lead to confirmation of a long-awaited blockbuster and lucrative all-British showdown between the pair to take place later in 2026, though they are likely to keep people waiting a little while longer yet.
How to watch Fury vs Wach
Fury vs Wach was announced at less than a month’s notice and many fight fans were surprised to see the contest taking place at such a small venue in Thailand, with the proceeds going to charity.
But the most unusual thing about this 12-round heavyweight clash is that it is not currently scheduled to be televised live anywhere in the world.
Fury confirmed quickly after the fight announcement that there was no broadcaster, with footage from the bout instead being shown exclusively in series three of the hit Netflix reality show, ‘At Home With the Furys’.
There is no release date for the third series just yet, but an announcement should be coming at some point soon.
