Tyson Fury Dominates Mariusz Wach in Thailand Tune-up

PATTAYA, THAILAND — Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury secured a dominant victory over Polish veteran Mariusz Wach on Friday night at the Max Muay Thai Stadium.The "Gypsy King" controlled the low-key, non-televised bout from the opening bell. Weighing in at 18st 13lb, Fury was lighter than his opponent for the first time in 15 years, moving with a noticeable sharpness. He utilized fluid stance switches and a biting jab to keep the 46-year-old veteran completely outmatched.The breakthrough came heavily in the fifth round when Fury landed a damaging barrage of unanswered uppercuts. By the end of the seventh round, a fatigued Wach slumped on his stool, prompting his corner and medical officials to wave off the contest. The official result was declared a seventh-round RTD/TKO victory for the Briton.This victory successfully keeps Fury's highly anticipated, all-British mega-fight with Anthony Joshua on track. Joshua faces Kristian Prenga on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia to seal his end of the bargain.Following the win, Fury confirmed he would bypass traveling to Saudi Arabia for a face-off, opting instead to return home to his family before finalizing the blockbuster deal. "I’m going home to regroup, and hopefully we’ll have a big fight signed next week," Fury stated.Photo Credit: Tyson Fury Facebook
