Fury Dominates Wach Ahead of Joshua Showdown
Fury ran his record to 36-2-1 and forced Wach to retire, then said a long-discussed fight with Joshua still could happen this year.
- On Friday, Tyson Fury defeated Mariusz Wach at Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand, improving his professional record to 36-2-1 after the 46-year-old Polish opponent retired before the eighth round.
- The bout served as a tune-up for Fury's upcoming showdown with fellow Briton Anthony Joshua, a matchup the two have avoided for years despite mounting fan anticipation.
- ESPN's James Regan called it "one-way traffic for Fury," noting he appeared to coast through before securing the stoppage when Wach failed to rise from his stool; about 1,500 fans attended despite the event not being televised.
- After the final bell, Fury called out Joshua, who prepares to face Kristian Prenga on Saturday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in his first bout since defeating Jake Paul last December.
- Boxing matches remain unofficial until contracts are signed. Fury, who turns 38 in August, carries added momentum following his tune-up victory, having suffered his only losses in two 2024 fights against Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk.
