Tyson Fury is set to put his highly anticipated £200million showdown with Anthony Joshua at risk as he steps into the ring against Mariusz Wach in Thailand tonight.
Initially adamant about only fighting Joshua, Fury has now agreed to face Mariusz Wach, a 46-year-old Polish veteran. Meanwhile, Joshua is gearing up to battle Kristian Prenga to fulfill his end of the deal.
The exact start time for Fury’s fight has not been confirmed, but it is expected to commence around 4pm UK time. The fight will not be televised or available for online streaming.
On the other hand, Anthony Joshua is scheduled to fight Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Fans can watch the fight on DAZN PPV for £19.99 or with DAZN Ultimate at no additional cost.
The timing of Fury’s bout with Mariusz Wach has been shrouded in mystery, leaving many speculating about the start time. It is anticipated that the match will kick off around 5pm UK time (12pm ET / 9am PT / 11am CT) or 11pm local time in Thailand.
While the much-anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury seemed imminent, WBC head Mauricio Sulaiman has hinted at potentially offering Fury a title shot before the year’s end.
Sulaiman expressed his admiration for Fury, emphasizing their long-standing relationship and mutual respect. He praised Fury’s character and champion spirit, hinting at a possible future title fight with the WBC.
Tonight’s fight between Fury and Wach will not be broadcast live on TV or any sports streaming services. Instead, exclusive footage from the bout will be featured in the upcoming season of Fury’s Netflix reality series, ‘At Home With The Furys’.
Tyson Fury has declared that this year will mark his final one in boxing. The 37-year-old fighter is set to face Mariusz Wach in Thailand before potentially meeting Anthony Joshua later in 2026.
Fury, who made a brief retirement announcement last January, returned to the ring in April with a victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov. His fight with Wach precedes Joshua’s upcoming match against Kristian Prenga.
Ahead of his second bout of 2026, Fury affirmed that this year would be his last in the sport, emphasizing his desire to stay active without prolonging his career indefinitely.
The matchup between Tyson Fury and Mariusz Wach will take place in the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand, with the main event likely starting around 10pm local time on Saturday, equivalent to 4pm UK time.
In conclusion, the boxing world eagerly awaits the outcomes of Fury’s clash with Wach and Joshua’s upcoming fight against Prenga, with the promise of an eventual showdown between the British champions.
