Tyson Fury has announced details of his final tune-up fight before facing Anthony Joshua , revealing a clash against veteran Polish heavyweight Mariusz Wach in Pattaya , Thailand .
The bout, to be shown on Netflix , will take place on Friday July 24, which is just 24 hours before Joshua takes on unknown Albanian Kristian Prenga in his own warm-up fight in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Should everything go to plan in those two contests, boxing fans will finally get the long-awaited showdown between the two best British heavyweight boxers of their generation when Fury and AJ face off in a blockbuster event in the latter stages of 2026 , having agreed terms earlier this year.
Wach does have more of a track record then Prenga and fought for a world heavyweight ******* le against Wladimir Klitschko – impressing as he took the Ukrainian great the distance before losing a unanimous decision for the first defeat of his career.
However, that fight was way back in 2012 and the 6ft 7in Pole is now 46 years old, having dropped from a 27-0 record before facing Klitschko to now being 39-13.
