Amid all the noise surrounding Anthony Joshua’s return to the ring, Tyson Fury is due to pull his gloves back on this weekend to fight Polish veteran Mariusz Wach.
The heavyweight division has stirred this year ahead of a long-awaited ‘Battle of Britain’ between Joshua and Fury.
The two Brits, both former world heavyweight champions, are heading for a potential showdown in November – though the fight is yet to be confirmed and fans have been disappointed before.
In the meantime, Fury continues his own return from retirement on Friday when he fights Wach, a 46-year-old in the twilight of his career, in Pattaya, Thailand
The Gypsy King beat Arslanbek Makhmudov in his comeback bout in April and is expected to do the same against his Polish opponent.

Why is Tyson Fury v Mariusz Wach not on TV?
The fight, which is taking place in front of a crowd of just 1,500 in Thailand, is taking place behind closed doors and is not due to be broadcast.
Explaining the decision, Fury has said: “This great fight will not be streamed live! It will only be broadcast on my hit Netflix TV show ‘At Home With The Furys’ season three.”
It is unclear whether highlights will be available after the fight but footage is expected to be used in the third season of Netflix’s reality series At Home with the Furys, which is currently filming.
The timing of Fury’s fight means he would be able to travel to Riyadh to watch Joshua against Kristian Prenga on Saturday, but the Gypsy King has said that is not part of his plan.
