Fury stops Wach in Thailand to close in on Joshua fight
PATTAYA: 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.

Let’s see if (Joshua) gets through his test,” Fury said. “In Tottenham in front of 70,000 people, he never had the guts to get in the ring and face me.
