The heavyweight division registers a decisive day in the Asian territory ahead of the card scheduled for this Friday. During the official ceremony held this Thursday at the Max Muaythai Stadium in the city of Pattaya, the British boxer Tyson Fury complied with the scale procedure by registering an official weight of 265 pounds for his international commitment in Thailand.

For his part, the Polish fighter Mariusz Wach stopped the Roman at 291.4 pounds, which gives the European challenger a favorable disparity of 26.4 pounds on the canvas.

This weigh-in represents an unusual record in the career of the former world champion, being the fourth time in Tyson Fury's 39 appearances in which he enters the ring with a lower tonnage than his opponent, a condition that has not occurred in his career since the cycle between 2008 and 2011 against rivals such as Daniil Peretyatko, John McDermott and Derek Chisora.

The relaxed confrontation and the statements after the scale

After passing the official weigh-in, both athletes staged the traditional confrontation in front of the accredited media at the Asian venue.

True to his gestural style, the English boxer sought to relax the tension in the atmosphere by trying to tickle his opponent and standing on tiptoe to compensate for the difference in height, concluding the previous protocol with smiles shared between the two corners.

In statements made during the formal ceremony of the scale, the British athlete Tyson Fury expressed his satisfaction with his physical condition and detailed the goal of staying active during the current competition season. "I feel fitter, more lucid and stronger. I have never faced a man heavier than me, normally I am always the heaviest, although not now. I am delighted to be here and there are fans from all over the world," the boxer declared to the media present at the official activity.

The projections towards the billboard in London

The development of this commitment in Thailand is part of the athlete's planning to accumulate experience in the ring for future commercial agreements in the European market. Regarding the possibility of agreeing to fights with a higher media profile in the coming months, Tyson Fury pointed out in the same news space that he prefers to focus his preparation on the immediate challenge on the canvas: "I want to stay busy, I am not betting on any fight that may or may not happen, this is the year in which I want him to stay busy; I could even have ten fights this year."

The evening held in Pattaya will not have a traditional television broadcast signal for the international market.

However, a favorable victory for the former monarch will keep negotiations open for an eventual clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, as long as the latter overcomes his respective fight against Kristian Prenga next Saturday in Saudi Arabia, opening the way to schedule a stellar confrontation at Wembley Stadium during the month of November.
