Tyson Fury has announced plans to fight Mariusz Wach later this month as part of his preparations for his hugely-anticipated showdown with Anthony Joshua later this year.
The two British boxing behemoths have been in discussions to face each other for the best part of a decade, and it appears as though the saga finally looks set to be resolved with an agreement understood to be in place for the blockbuster bout later this year.
AJ hasn't fought since comprehensively beating Jake Paul last December, just a week before he was involved in a fatal car accident in Nigeria, one which tragically claimed the life of two of his closest friends and training team members.
Despite suggestions that the Watford star would call time on his career in the aftermath of the incident, he has since announced plans to return, with a fight against Kristian Prenga now set in stone for July 25.
But first, the boxing spotlight will fall upon Fury when he takes on veteran Polish operator Wach just 24 hours prior to Joshua's showdown with Prenga in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
