Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury returns to action on Friday night ahead of an expected meeting with Anthony Joshua later this year.
Fury, 37, faces Poland’s Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand, with the 46-year-old expected to be Fury’s final opponent before a long-awaited ‘Battle of Britain’ bout against Joshua.

The meeting with Wach is however taking place behind closed doors and will not be shown live on any television channel.
That could change in the final days before the fight, but it is expected that the bout will remain behind closed doors and not broadcast.
Netflix are currently filming a third season of their documentary ‘At Home with the Furys’. It could perhaps mean that footage from Fury’s fight against Wach will be used upon the release of the third season.
Netflix also have the rights to broadcast the expected battle later this year between Fury and Joshua, should it go ahead as planned.

Fury’s bout with Wach takes place the night before Joshua is scheduled to fight Albanian Kristian Prenga.
That bout will be broadcast live on DAZN PPV on Saturday and is taking place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
With the gap between the two bouts, it could mean that Fury attends Joshua’s fight.
