In preparation for their heavyweight bout in Thailand, Tyson Fury stepped on the scales at 265lbs, a full 26.4 pounds lighter than his opponent Mariusz Wach, who weighed in at 291.4lbs. This marked a significant shift, as Fury typically outweighs his opponents, but in this instance, he was substantially lighter. Notably, Fury's weight was two pounds less than his previous bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov in April.
Speaking at the weigh-in, Fury expressed his satisfaction with his training, stating, "I've put in the work, this is my second camp back-to-back after a 16-month lay-off. I'm getting sharper, fitter, and stronger every day." Fury, who has never faced an opponent heavier than himself, appeared eager to take on the challenge, saying, "I want to box his head off for 12 rounds, if possible. I'm there to box and move, use my attributes. I've got to be 100 per cent focused, switched on, take nobody as an easy touch and do my job, like I always do." The upcoming fight will be Fury's 39th career bout and will take place in front of a limited crowd of 1,500 at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya.
This match may serve as a precursor to a highly anticipated showdown with Anthony Joshua. Fury remains optimistic about his performance, insisting that his best is yet to come.
It's worth noting that Fury's fight will not be broadcast live, but instead will be featured as part of his Netflix documentary series, 'At Home with the Furys'. Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua is set to face Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia, marking his first fight since defeating Jake Paul in December 2025.
