Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury forced Polish opponent Mariusz Wach to retire in a tune-up bout on Friday for his showdown this year with fellow Briton Anthony Joshua.
The fight in Thailand was not televised, but will feature in the Netflix reality show "At Home with The Furys". About 1,500 fans attended the event at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya.
Wach had lost seven of his last 10 fights, and the 46-year-old could not continue at the start of the eighth round.
Fury, who turns 38 in August, has won 36 professional bouts, suffering his only losses in two fights with Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.
Joshua, also a former world heavyweight champion, is set to face Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
The 'Battle of Britain' showdown between AJ and Fury is expected to take place in November with the United Kingdom, United States and Saudi all potential venues.
