In preparation for their highly anticipated heavyweight bout in Thailand, Tyson Fury stepped onto the scales at 265lbs, a full 26.4 pounds lighter than his opponent Mariusz Wach, who weighed in at 291.4lbs. This marks a significant difference, with Fury having weighed 2 pounds more when he last fought Arslanbek Makhmudov in April. At the weigh-in, Fury expressed his readiness for the fight, saying, "I've put in the work, especially considering this is my second camp back-to-back after a 16-month lay-off.
I'm feeling sharper, fitter, and stronger with each passing day." Fury, who has never faced an opponent heavier than himself, appeared enthusiastic about the upcoming match, stating, "I'm excited to be fighting and I'm not taking anything for granted. As a fighter, I want to stay active, especially given that I've only had one fight in over two years." He outlined his strategy, saying, "My plan is to outbox my opponent for 12 rounds, if possible.
I intend to use my speed and agility to outmaneuver him. I must remain 100% focused and not underestimate my opponent." The 37-year-old boxer is set to face Poland's Wach in front of a limited crowd of 1,500 at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya, an event that could serve as a precursor to a highly anticipated match against Anthony Joshua. Fury is confident that his best performances are yet to come.
It's worth noting that this fight will not be broadcast live on TV but will be featured as part of Fury's Netflix documentary series, 'At Home with the Furys'. Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua is scheduled to fight Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia, marking his first match since defeating Jake Paul in December 2025.
