Tyson Fury is set to face Mariusz Wach in a heavyweight bout scheduled for 12 rounds on Friday, July 24, at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand. Ring walks for the headline fight are expected around 1am local time (7pm UK time), though the exact timing has not been officially confirmed.
No TV or live stream available
The fight is being staged behind closed doors with a restricted capacity of 1,000 spectators. It will not be broadcast on any television network, and there will be no live stream available online. Boxing fans worldwide cannot follow the contest as it happens.
Netflix documentary filming
Production camera crews will be positioned ringside to capture the action. The footage is expected to be released during the upcoming third season of the documentary programme At Home With The Furys on Netflix.
Fighter backgrounds
Fury enters the fight after a unanimous decision victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, following his earlier defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. Mariusz Wach, a 46-year-old Polish veteran, competed for world honours against Wladimir Klitschko in 2012 but has lost seven of his last ten professional fights.
Preparation for Anthony Joshua
This bout serves as a warm-up for Fury to stay ring-ready. If he avoids an upset, the fight sets up a future showdown against Anthony Joshua later this year.
