Money, no TV and just 1,500 fans: Tyson Fury's bizarre next fight

Money, no TV and just 1,500 fans: Tyson Fury's bizarre next fight highlights Tyson Fury’s unusual next bout, staged as a charity event in Thailand. Fury will fight in front of 1,500 spectators at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya on Friday night, with no pay-per-view and no celebrity VIPs. The 12-round warm-up is designed as preparation for Fury’s long-awaited autumn showdown with Anthony Joshua, with multiple US and UK venues including New York, Las Vegas, London and Cardiff being considered. Tickets cost 10,000 baht (£221), and the event sold out in three minutes. The charity is expected to raise around 8.1m baht (£179,403) for the Father Ray Foundation. Fury’s opponent is Mariusz Wach, a Polish former contender who appeared alongside him at a Pattaya news conference.
