Tyson Fury is back in the ring today, competing in a warm-up fight for his long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua.
In Thailand, where Fury has trained over the last year, the “Gypsy King” will box former world-title challenger Mariusz Wach, one night before “AJ” takes on Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.
Should Fury and his fellow Briton pass these tests, they will finally square off later this year, with a November meeting at Wembley Stadium on the cards – provided the fight takes place in the early hours of the morning, apparently.
Some might argue that Fury, 37, has already had a warm-up bout for his planned fight with Joshua; in April, Fury ended his fifth retirement from boxing and outpointed Arslanbek Makhmudov in Tottenham.
But the former world heavyweight champion wants to go again, facing Wach in a fight whose proceeds will go to charity, according to Fury. Here’s all you need to know:
When is the fight?
Fury vs Wach will take place on Friday 24 July at Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand. The main-event ring walks are expected at 5pm BST (9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET).
How can I watch it?
Fury has said: “This great fight will not be streamed live! It will only be broadcast on my hit Netflix TV show ‘At Home With The Furys’ season three.” There is currently no release date for that season. The Independent will provide live updates from the event, however.
Odds
Fury – 1/50
