Tyson Fury is scheduled to fight Polish heavyweight Mariusz Wach in Thailand on 24 July, with the bout described as a warm-up for preparations for a potential fight with Anthony Joshua. Multiple outlets report that the fight is intended to help Fury finalise training for a proposed showdown with Joshua later this year, with at least one report suggesting the next stage of preparation is linked to a potential November date.
The opponent is identified as Mariusz Wach, a veteran heavyweight from Poland. One outlet notes he is 46 years old and carries the nickname “The Viking.” The planned fight in Thailand is also reported in connection with Joshua’s activity around the same period, with one source referencing the weekend Joshua fights Kristian Prenga.
While the coverage consistently frames Wach as a step toward a possible Joshua clash, the articles do not present new terms for the Joshua negotiations beyond the idea that Fury’s next bout is part of his preparation plan. The fight details and timing are the main points agreed across the reports.
