Tyson Fury v Mariusz Wach: date and time of the fight — The Tyson Fury v Mariusz Wach fight will take place on 24 July 2026

Tyson Fury, a 37-year-old Briton and former world heavyweight champion, is set to face 46-year-old Polish boxer Mariusz Wach.

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who in May 2026 boldly challenged Oleksandr Usyk to a third fight, has learnt the name of his next opponent.

The 37-year-old Briton is set to face 46-year-old Polish boxer Mariusz Wach.

The bout between Fury and Wacha will take place on 24 July at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Thailand.

It should be noted that for Fury, this fight is intended to be a warm-up bout ahead of his clash with another star British heavyweight, Anthony Joshua.

Fury and Joshua have previously signed a contract for a fight scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. The exact date and venue of the long-awaited bout will be announced at a later date.

Joshua himself is due to face Albanian boxer Kristian Prenga in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 25 July.

Fury and Vaha’s previous fights: what we know

Wach last stepped into the ring in March, when he lost by unanimous decision to Ukrainian Viktor Vykhryst. In 2012, the Pole challenged for the world title but lost to Wladimir Klitschko.

In his previous bout in March 2026, Mariusz Wach lost to Ukrainian Viktor Vykhryst, and before that, in 2012, he lost a title fight to Wladimir Klitschko.

Wach has fought 52 bouts, winning 39 (20 by knockout) and suffering 13 defeats

In 2024, Fury lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk, after which he announced his retirement.

In early 2026, Fury resumed his career and, in April, defeated the Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov. Following this, Fury signed a contract for a fight against Joshua, which is due to take place in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has stated that the fight is most likely to take place in November 2026 in the UK.

Fury recently stated that he is ready to take on German boxer Kabayel in a title fight instead of Usyk.

As a reminder, on 26 June, Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk announced that he was relinquishing all his championship belts. According to the boxer, he wants to give other challengers a chance to compete for the titles, but has no intention of retiring
