Tyson Fury returned to action against heavyweight veteran Mariusz Wach in a low-profile scrap in Pattaya, Thailand, last month. Now, the 46-year-old has shared his thoughts on Fury\u2019s current ability ahead of a clash with Anthony Joshua.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fury called for a long-awaited grudge match against Joshua after defeating Arslanbek Makhmudov back in April, but \u2018AJ\u2019 maintained that he would first require a \u2018warm-up\u2019 and agreed to take on Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Fury then proceeded with a tune-up of his own, lining up Wach on a non-televised bill, despite the fact that Wach, who challenged Wladimir Klitschko for the unified heavyweight throne in 2012, had lost seven of his previous 10 bouts.<\/p>\n

At the Max Muaythai Stadium, the Polish heavyweight survived seven rounds against \u2019The Gypsy King\u2019 before retiring on his stool<\/a>, awarding Fury with his first stoppage win since he halted Derek Chisora almost four years ago.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Seconds Out<\/a>, Wach labelled Fury \u2018very dynamic\u2019 and said that he is looking forward to seeing how Joshua copes with his unique style.<\/p>\n

\u201cTyson is a very [unorthodox] fighter, he has long range and he is very dynamic. He is sharp and very strong.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am waiting for his next fight with Joshua, I am very interested in this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

It looks increasingly likely that the all-British fight will take place in New York, though Eddie Hearn has now threatened to call the fight off<\/a> if an announcement is made without a new deal being agreed to accommodate the left-field location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury returned to action against heavyweight veteran Mariusz Wach in a low-profile scrap in Pattaya, Thailand, last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":853266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-853265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=853265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/853266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=853265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=853265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=853265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
