POLICY WIRE — Bangkok, Thailand — Tyson Fury, the former world champion, has declared himself “sharper, fitter, and stronger” ahead of his upcoming bout against Mariusz Wach on Friday in Bangkok, Thailand.
Fury weighed in at 26 pounds lighter than his Polish opponent, a fact he highlighted during the weigh-in event. “I’m Mr. Slim now,” Fury remarked, underscoring his focus on fitness — and conditioning for the fight.
The highly anticipated match is set to take place at the Rajadamnern Stadium, a venue known for hosting significant boxing events. Fury’s recent training regimen and dietary adjustments have been closely monitored by his team, who believe these changes will give him a competitive edge.
Mariusz Wach, on the other hand, has been training rigorously in his home country, Poland, and is confident about his chances. “I respect Fury, but I believe I have the skills and strength to win this fight,” Wach stated during a press conference.
This bout is part of a series of international boxing events scheduled in Thailand, aimed at boosting the country’s profile in the global sports arena. The event organizers have ensured all safety protocols are in place, given the ongoing pandemic.
