Tyson Fury will be looking to get some crucial rounds under his belt this evening when he trades leather with Mariusz Wach.

The Morecambe native knows that a win tonight will near enough guarantee a fight with long-time rival Anthony Joshua later this year. 'AJ' himself is set to fight tomorrow against Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia, but is expected to come through unscathed.

Both Fury and Joshua faced off back in April after the former's points win over Arslanbek Makhmudov and signed to a fight just days later. With many intrigued to see how the 'Gypsy King' will fare on fight night, the 37-year-old will no doubt want to put on a show over in Thailand. And so, here is everything you need to know ahead of tonight's fights...

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.

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.

Tyson Fury: "Everyone comes to try and beat me up and they very rarely do. Mariusz had had a lot of professional fights and he's a big, dangerous guy. I've got to be on my A-game, and I've picked him because I want some good rounds out of him. He is the same size as me, the same weight as me and he's had the same amount of fights as me. He's been in there with the elite-level champions of two generations. I'm not interested in what's going on with Joshua. “This is about me and Mariusz, not about anybody else. I've never been one to fall into that trap, I've always taken my opponents seriously."

Mariusz Wach: "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."
