Tyson Fury Stops Wach in Thailand to Set Up Joshua Super-Fight

Tyson Fury comfortably handled his tune-up assignment by forcing a seventh-round stoppage against Polish veteran Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand. Held at the Max Muay Thai Stadium, the event featured a surprisingly intimate atmosphere, drawing a modest crowd of roughly 1,500 fans without a live global television broadcast.

Instead, the exclusive footage was filmed for the third season of his Netflix reality series. Weighing in at a lean 265 pounds, Fury held a massive speed advantage. Aside from absorbing a sharp right hand in the second round, he controlled the contest behind a stinging jab and constant stance-switching.

By the fifth round, the British heavyweight completely dictated the pace, visibly bruising Wach with short uppercuts on the inside. Following a sustained beating, Wach’s corner wisely stopped the contest before the eighth round could begin. Ticket profits from the humanitarian charity event were entirely donated to the local Father Ray Foundation.
