Tyson Fury is set for his second fight in three months when he takes on veteran Mariusz Wach over in Thailand this evening. The 'Gypsy King' ended a year-long hiatus back in April when he returned to the ring to take on Arslanbek Makhmudov in front of over 60,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.
Fury sailed to a points decision, but looked far from convincing. There is a lot of pressure on Fury's shoulders to perform tonight - with a date with Anthony Joshua on the line. Providing Fury comes away without a scratch, he is expected to face his long-time rival in November. Wach will look to throw a real spanner in the works, though.
The 52-fight veteran has fought the likes of Moses Itauma, Frazer Clarke, Dillian Whyte, Alexander Povetkin and Wladimir Klitschko during his career so far. And so, here is everything you need to know ahead of tonight's fights...
Fight time in the UK
Tyson Fury will fight Mariusz Wach this evening at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand. Tonight's main event will likely start at around 11pm local time on Friday which will be 5pm in the UK with Fury fighting second on the bill.
All fight times are subject to change and will depend on how long the undercard takes to complete.
How to watch
Tyson Fury's fight will NOT be streamed tonight. Fury has decided not to broadcast his fight and it will instead be shown on season three of his Netflix show At Home With The Furys which will be released later this year.

Fury and Wach speak ahead of the bout
“I’ll always be a big name. I still feel the best is yet to come. I don’t feel like the world’s seen the best of Tyson Fury yet. 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.”
“Preparation is very good. I expect a very good fight here on Friday.”
“It's easy for me (Fury's antics). His technique. But I think during the later rounds, this fight will be more easy for me.”
