| Pattaya, Thailand – Friday, 24th July – The Gypsy King Tyson Fury will make his return to the ring on Friday 24th July, when he faces experienced Polish heavyweight Mariusz Wach at the iconic Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand. More than just boxing, the event has been created with a powerful charitable purpose. Ticket profits generated from the event will be donated to local charities across Pattaya, ensuring that the evening delivers a lasting impact in the region. In recognition of this extraordinary commitment to giving back, the World Boxing Council (WBC) will present Tyson Fury with the inaugural WBC Humanitarian Title—a historic honour for the Gypsy King. The presentation marks a significant moment for both Fury and the sport, recognising not only his achievements inside the ring, but also his dedication to supporting communities in Pattaya, a part of the world that his been at the very centre of his recent training camps. ? Tyson Fury said: “2026 is a landmark year for me in boxing and I’m excited to be able to bring this event to Pattaya, a part of the world that is special to me. We’re coming together to put on a great show for the fans, while using the opportunity to give back the local community, who have been so good to me every time I have visited. At the same time, I’m fully focused on preparing for a tough opponent and making sure I’m the best version of Tyson Fury going into fight night. It’s the start of a huge second half of the year for me.” ? Tyson’s manager Spencer Brown added: “When Tyson told me his plans for this fight, it didn’t surprise me. I’ve always said Tyson has the biggest heart in boxing and what he is doing for the people of Pattaya is a true reflection of his character. But make no mistake, this fight is serious preparation for his fight with Anthony Joshua and we cannot afford any slip ups at this stage. So, Tyson will be ready and I fully expect him to build on his performance at Tottenham Stadium last April” ? The WBC’s Mauricio Sulaiman says: “The WBC is extremely proud and excited about the boxing match that our proud champion Tyson Fury will hold in Pattaya, Thailand on July 24th with the money generated to be destined to charity. The WBC is creating a unique commemorative belt to be awarded to the winner and join this memorable humanitarian event.” ? Frank Warren is excited by the prospect of Tyson stepping back into the ring: “Boxing is a better place with Tyson Fury in it, so it’s fantastic to have him back in action on Friday 24th July. Tyson is in great shape and completely focused on putting on a show against Mariusz Wach. He’s a true global superstar and I’ve no doubt the fans will pack the place out in Thailand to watch a vintage performance from the Gypsy King.” The event is expected to draw international media attention as Fury returns to action against the experienced Mariusz Wach, who has competed with some of the biggest names in heavyweight boxing. With an historic night to come at Max Muay Thai Stadium, fans can look forward to an evening that celebrates the very best of boxing, while demonstrating the sport’s ability to create positive change.
