British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has announced his return to the ring for a charity match against Poland's Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand, on July 24. The 12-round bout is scheduled to take place at the Max Muay Thai Stadium.

Fury, who last retired after his second consecutive loss to Oleksandr Usyk in late 2024, is making a comeback after a year-long hiatus. This fight is widely considered a tune-up for a highly anticipated potential clash with fellow British boxer Anthony Joshua later this year.

The "Gypsy King" revealed the news on his Facebook page, stating the fight would be broadcast live and exclusively from Thailand. All proceeds from the event will be donated to support starving and homeless children in the local community. Additionally, the match will be recorded for Fury's upcoming Netflix series, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at his comeback journey.

I will be fighting Mariusz Wach live and exclusive here in Pattaya, Thailand.
