Tyson Fury moved a step closer to a long-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua after defeating Poland’s Mariusz Wach by technical knockout in Pattaya, Thailand, on Friday.
The former two-time world heavyweight champion produced a composed and dominant display to overwhelm the vastly experienced Wach before the Polish veteran’s corner threw in the towel during the seventh round.
Fighting before a crowd of approximately 1,500 spectators in the Thai resort city, Fury controlled proceedings from the opening bell, steadily breaking down his 46-year-old opponent with accurate combinations and relentless pressure in a contest that was not televised live.
The victory marks Fury’s second win of the year as the 37-year-old continues his impressive return following a 16-month absence from the ring.
With another convincing performance under his belt, attention now shifts to Saudi Arabia, where fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua is scheduled to face Albania’s Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on Saturday.
