Fury vs Wach: Charity Bout Set for Thailand, Filmed for Netflix

Tyson Fury will return to the ring on Friday, July 24, against Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand, in a 12-round heavyweight bout that serves as a tune-up for a potential showdown with Anthony Joshua later this year. The event is scheduled at the Max Muay Thai Stadium and proceeds will go to local charities.

Fury, 37, last fought in April, outpointing Arslanbek Makhmudov following a brief retirement. Wach, a 46-year-old Polish veteran, enters with a record of 3-7 in his last 10 fights. Despite the mismatch on paper, Fury has stressed that 2026 is a landmark year for him and that the event is about putting on a show for fans while giving back.

Broadcast and undercard details

The fight will not be broadcast live. Instead, it is being filmed by Netflix as part of the third season of “At Home with the Furys.” The undercard features several heavyweight and other bouts, including Daniel Baer vs Simon Ibekwe and Michael Alan Flannery in a light-heavyweight contest, with more names subject to change.

• Fury vs Wach: 12 rounds, heavyweight, Max Muay Thai Stadium, Pattaya, Thailand
• No live broadcast; filmed for Netflix's At Home with the Furys season 3
• Proceeds from the event go to local charities
• Undercard includes Daniel Baer, Simon Ibekwe, Michael Alan Flannery and others
• Anthony Joshua also fights this weekend as he prepares for a potential Fury meeting

Why this fight matters

Fury and Joshua have signed to meet each other in the fourth quarter of 2026, contingent on both men winning their respective warm-up bouts. Joshua, returning from injury and personal loss, takes on his own opponent the day before Fury's fight. A win for both would set the stage for one of the biggest heavyweight clashes in British boxing history.

For Fury, the Wach bout keeps him active and gives him a low-risk opportunity to shake off ring rust in front of a global streaming audience. For boxing fans, the main intrigue remains what comes next: a long-awaited unification-style clash with Joshua that has been discussed for years.
