Tyson Fury weighed in at 265lbs for Friday's heavyweight fight against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, 26.4 pounds lighter than his Polish opponent who tipped the scales at 291.4lbs. The 37-year-old "Gypsy King" is preparing for his 39th career bout at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya.

Fury said he's "getting sharper, fitter, and stronger every day" in his second training camp back-to-back after a 16-month layoff. He aims to "box his head off for 12 rounds" and use his movement against the heavier Wach. The fight will host just 1,500 fans behind closed doors.

The bout serves as a potential warm-up for a much-anticipated clash with Anthony Joshua, who fights Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Fury's fight won't be broadcast live but will feature in his Netflix documentary series 'At Home with the Furys'.
