Tyson Fury returns to the ring on Friday, in what is set to be one final warm-up before his long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua finally comes to fruition.
After back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk Fury announced his retirement from boxing but later reversed his decision and came back to outpoint Arslanbek Makhmudov in April.
With his all-British showdown with AJ looming, Fury is set to face Mariusz Wach on Friday in a behind-closed-doors bout in Pattaya, Thailand.
Once a bona fide contender in boxing's glamour division, Wach has won just three of his last ten fights, and Fury is expected to make easy work of the 46-year-old.
