  • British boxer Tyson Fury defeated Mariusz Wach by retirement in a preparatory fight in Thailand.
  • The bout served as preparation for Fury's anticipated match against Anthony Joshua later this year.
  • Fury, who had previously announced retirement, is now preparing for a major comeback fight.

Tyson Fury secured a victory over Poland's Mariusz Wach in a preparatory boxing match held in Pattaya, Thailand. Wach retired from the fight before the start of the eighth round, granting Fury his second consecutive win since his unanimous decision victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April.

The "Gypsy King" had announced his retirement following consecutive losses to Ukrainian world champion Oleksandr Usyk in late 2024 and spent 2025 out of the ring. His return to boxing has generated significant anticipation for a highly publicized "Battle of England" bout against compatriot Anthony Joshua, scheduled for later this year.

Fury, who typically fills large arenas, chose a smaller venue for this fight, with proceeds benefiting a charity for underprivileged children in Pattaya. The match, though not televised live, will be featured in an upcoming Netflix docuseries. Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua is also scheduled to fight this weekend in Saudi Arabia.
