Fury stops Wach in Thailand to close in on Joshua fight

Tyson Fury edged closer to a blockbuster heavyweight clash with Anthony Joshua after defeating Poland’s Mariusz Wach by technical knock-out on Friday, but said he was “not convinced” his fellow Briton would face him.

Fury, 37, outclassed Wach in front of 1 500 spectators in the Thai resort city of Pattaya in a bout that was not broadcast live on television.

Former two-time world heavyweight champion Fury chipped away relentlessly at the 46-year-old until he was pulled out by his corner in the seventh round.
