Tyson Fury is set to put his £200 million highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua at stake as he faces Mariusz Wach in Thailand tonight.
Initially adamant about only fighting Joshua, Fury has now agreed to take on the 46-year-old Polish veteran Wach. Meanwhile, Joshua is gearing up to fight Kristian Prenga in a separate match a day later.
While the exact timing of Fury’s fight has not been disclosed, it is expected to commence around 4pm UK time. However, the fight will not be available for TV broadcast or online streaming.
On the other hand, Anthony Joshua is scheduled to step into the ring against Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Fans can catch the fight on DAZN PPV for £19.99 or enjoy it at no additional cost with DAZN Ultimate.
The start time for Fury’s showdown with Wach has been a subject of speculation, with predictions placing it around 5pm UK time or 11pm local time in Thailand.
Despite the anticipation for a Fury vs. Joshua match, WBC official Mauricio Sulaiman expressed interest in offering Fury a title shot before the year’s end.
Fury, who has announced that this year might be his final one in boxing, is determined to face Joshua before 2026. The former heavyweight champion made a comeback in April after a 16-month hiatus, defeating Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Regarding tonight’s fight, Fury will not be live-streaming the event. Instead, exclusive footage will be featured in the upcoming season of his Netflix reality series, ‘At Home With The Furys.’
Fury’s bout with Wach is set to take place at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand, with the main event likely starting at 10pm local time. However, the exact start time is yet to be confirmed by the organizers, and all timings are subject to change based on the undercard duration.
As Fury and Wach prepare to face off, the fight will be held without spectators in Thailand, limiting the number of attendees. However, enthusiasts can expect updates from the event as it unfolds.
