Fury wins low-key warm-up to keep Joshua fight on track

Tyson Fury kept his comeback on track with a low-key seventh-round stoppage of Mariusz Wach in Thailand. The fight, attended by a small crowd and not broadcast live, served as a warm-up for the British heavyweight, who is eyeing a blockbuster showdown with fellow Briton Anthony Joshua.

I went through my test tonight. Let's see if he can get through his.

Fury dominated the overmatched Wach, 46, who retired on his stool at the start of the eighth round. The bout's main purpose was to be featured in the upcoming Netflix reality series 'At Home With The Furys.'

"I went through my test tonight. Let's see if he can get through his," Fury said, referring to Joshua's own comeback fight. While many expected Fury to attend Joshua's bout in Saudi Arabia, potentially to announce their long-awaited fight, Fury indicated he was heading home to his family. "I'm not going to Jeddah, I'm going home to my wife and kids. I'm going to regroup and hopefully we'll have a big fight signed next week," he stated.

I've got to face off with my wife. I've got to iron when I get home. I've been away for six out of the last seven months.

Questions remain about the location of a potential Fury-Joshua fight, with suggestions ranging from the UK to America. "We'll head wherever we're going to head," Fury commented. "Who knows? It could be in Vegas, New York, Ireland, London. Who knows where the fight's going to be?"

Unlike Fury's previous high-profile fights in packed stadiums, this event in Pattaya had a more subdued atmosphere. "We've all heard of the 'Thriller in Manila', you've heard of the 'Rumble in the Jungle' and you've heard of the punch-up in Pattaya," Fury remarked, acknowledging the unusual setting. The fight's outcome was primarily disseminated through social media updates and reports from the few journalists present.
