Tyson Fury defeats Mariusz Wach in a warm-up fight in Pattaya, Thailand, ahead of an expected heavyweight matchup with Anthony Joshua. According to the reports, the bout takes place at a Muay Thai stadium and is not broadcast live. About 1,500 spectators attend. Fury largely dominates the 46-year-old Wach, who is described as overmatched. The fight does not go the distance: Wach is pulled out by his corner after the end of the seventh round, with Fury having battered him. One outlet characterizes the stoppage as Wach’s retirement. After a 16-month layoff, Fury makes it back-to-back wins in 2026, meeting the objective of a pre-fight appearance before the anticipated clash with Joshua. The next reported fight is between Anthony Joshua and Kristian Prenga on Saturday.
