Tyson Fury secured a victory over Mariusz Wach on Friday night in a low-key contest in Thailand, dispatching the Polish fighter in the seventh round when Wach retired on his stool. The bout, held in Pattaya, was widely considered a "stay-busy" fight for Fury as he continues his comeback, with no major broadcaster televising the event.
Following the fight, attention quickly turned to Fury's next potential moves. Daily Mail Sport has reported that Saudi organizers Sela are arranging for Fury to travel to Jeddah. The intention is for Fury to be in attendance for Anthony Joshua's return fight against Kristian Prenga on Saturday night. This timing comes ahead of a proposed megafight between Fury and Joshua later this year.
The event in Thailand also served a charitable purpose, with gate receipts donated to the Father Ray Foundation, an organization supporting orphans and underprivileged children in Thailand.
Whether Fury will attend Joshua's fight in Jeddah remains uncertain. Fury has previously stated he had no plans to attend, leading to speculation he might be adopting a similar approach to a prior event. Following Fury's victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov earlier this year, Joshua, who was present, did not enter the ring, as the contract for their fight had not yet been officially signed. This time, with contracts reportedly finalized for the Fury-Joshua bout, there is hope behind the scenes that the two British heavyweights may finally share a stage, should Joshua win his upcoming match.
