How to watch Fury v Wach
Tyson Fury returns to action when sharing a boxing ring with Poland's Mariusz Wach on Friday afternoon in Thailand.
Fury vs Wach comes from the Max Muaythai Stadium in Pattaya, with an advertised start time of noon.
Unfortunately, the show, jointly promoted by Frank Warren for Queensberry Promotions and Spencer Brown for Goldstar, won't be broadcast live on television.
Instead Fury vs Wach will appear on season three of the Netflix hit series "At Home with the Furys" at a later date.
Despite the lack of coverage, you can still bet on the result at Betfair.
An important night for Fury
Fury vs Wach is just one part of an incredible weekend of heavyweight boxing. Tyson is in action on Friday afternoon, before Anthony Joshua meets Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.
A win for both British heavyweights would take us a step closer to Fury vs Joshua, a showdown that has been pencilled in for later this year.
Ahead of his latest appearance, Fury brings a professional boxing record of 35 wins, against 2 defeats, and a draw. Both losses on that incredible CV came against current world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.
Since losing to the all-conquering Ukrainian boxer, Tyson has appeared only once, beating Arslanbek Makhmudov on points.
Fury out-fought and out-thought the Canadian-based Russian at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, in April of this year. Winning margins of 12, 12, and 10 rounds on the scorecards tell the story of a comfortable evening before a huge audience.
Interestingly, Fury's last win by KO/TKO was against Derek Chisora in December 2022.
If you think Wach can keep Fury at bay for all 10 rounds you can back another points win for the former world champ at odds of 7/24.50 on the Betfair Sportsbook.
Underdog Wach wants to spoil the party
Hailing from Krakow, Poland, Wach is an experienced, dangerous, and popular figure in the competitive heavyweight division.
The 52-bout veteran is likely past his peak, and that's reflected in his recent results. The warrior known as The Viking has 39 wins against 13 defeats, beating 20 opponents inside the distance, creating a 51% KO average.
On paper, Mariusz is a dangerous opponent, but we must remember that he's 46-years-old. The Pole also carries the scars of a challenging career spent taking on some of the biggest names in the sport's most popular division.
The list of men who have beaten him includes Moses Itauma, Frazer Clarke, Makhmudov, Hughie Fury, and Dillian Whyte.
Is Wach merely fighting for money these days? It's certainly possible in his mid-40s, but that doesn't mean he has lost his power and is no longer a danger. He's also a tough man who often takes opponents the distance.
That desire to hear the final bell makes Mariuz the ideal opponent for Fury, as he aims to get rounds under his belt and build sharpness.
Fancy an upset? You can back Wach in the fight-winner market at 19/120.00 (Betfair Sportsbook).
Trust the stats and back Fury to do it his way
Fury vs Wach won't be the biggest, most exciting, and important fight of the year. But if the Englishman wins, it'll pave the way for a meeting with long-term rival Joshua. That would be the biggest, most exciting, and important bout of 2026.
It's all on the line for Fury, with the Brit under pressure, while his Polish opponent has nothing to lose. That may encourage Wach to be a little more adventurous in his game plan.
Let's look at the ideal scenario for Team Fury. They want to get the rounds under their belt, improve their fitness, and put on a show for those in attendance. Now, let's remember that Wach has been stopped only twice in a career stretching back to 2005.
With that in mind, I'm taking Fury to win on a points decision for the second fight in a row.
