Tyson Fury will fight the Polish veteran Mariusz Wach on July 24 in Pattaya, Thailand, before his long-awaited match with Anthony Joshua.

Tyson Fury has announced details about his last training match before the confrontation with Anthony Joshua, scheduled for July 24 in Pattaya, Thailand, against the veteran Polish fighter Mariusz Wach. This match will be broadcast on Netflix and will take place a day before Joshua faces the Albanian Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. If both matches go according to plan, boxing fans will finally be able to witness the long-awaited showdown between the best British heavyweight boxers of their generation, Fury and AJ, in the second half of 2026.

Wach, at 46 years old, has a richer record than Prenga, having fought for the world title in 2012, but has suffered multiple defeats since then, including against Dillian Whyte and Hughie Fury. Fury, who returned to the ring after a 16-month break, stated that he is excited to bring this event to Pattaya, a special place for him, and that he is focused on preparing for a tough opponent. He emphasized the importance of this year in his boxing career and his desire to provide a quality show for the fans while also getting involved in the local community.
