I&#8217;m getting sharper, fitter, and stronger every day,&#8221; Fury said at the weigh-in in Pattaya.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never faced a man heavier than me. I&#8217;m very happy to be fighting. I&#8217;m not banking on any fight happening or not happening. I&#8217;m a fighter, I want to keep busy. I&#8217;ve had one fight in over two years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to box his head off for 12 rounds, if possible. I&#8217;m there to box and move, use my attributes. I&#8217;ve got to be 100 per cent focused, switched on, take nobody as an easy touch and do my job, like I always do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 37-year-old is gearing up for his 39th career fight and will take on Poland&#8217;s Wach in front of just 1,500 fans at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya which could be a warm-up for a much-anticipated bout with Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua is also in action this weekend as he takes on Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia for his first fight since beating Jake Paul in December 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Fury&#8217;s fight on Friday will not be broadcast live but will be shown as part of his Netflix documentary series, &#8216;At Home with the Furys&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury weighed in nearly two stone lighter than Mariusz Wach for Friday&#8217;s heavyweight fight in Thailand.
