Fury says ‘best is yet to come’ as he prepares for Wach fight
Tyson Fury, April 11, 2026

TYSON FURY feels “the best is yet to come” as he prepares for his next fight against Mariusz Wach in Thailand on Friday.

The 37-year-old is gearing up for his 39th career fight and will take on Poland’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.

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.

Fury has beaten the likes of Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder down the years, but he thinks the world still has not seen the best of him.

“I still feel the best is yet to come. I don’t feel like the world’s seen the best of Tyson Fury yet,” he told a press conference.

“I’ve been over here [Thailand] since December. Beautiful people, beautiful place. I feel at peace with everything whereas before I had a lot of pressure on me.

“I thrive better in a warmer climate and I feel rejuvenated.”

Fury has fought in some of the biggest venues across the world but tomorrow’s fight in front of a small crowd will be something different for the former world heavyweight champion.

He fired shots at some sports stars claiming they would not perform in small venues because they think they are “bigger than they actually are.”

Wach, 46, has lost 13 career fights but Fury believes he would still knock out Joshua’s opponent, Prenga.

He said: “This is a dangerous fight. He’s the same size as me, same weight as me. He’s been in there with the most elite level fighters.

“Mariusz Wach would put his fist through Joshua’s opponent, whoever he is, Mr Pringle man.

“This man would knock him spark out. He’s a real fighting man.”
