There isn't much excitement surrounding Tyson Fury's
return to the squared circle and for good reason.

Fury is scheduled to fight Mariusz Wach on 24 July at Muay Thai
Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand. However, fans won't be able to watch
the bout live as it won't be broadcast on any channel or streaming
service. The fight will instead be recorded for his Netflix show
“At Home with the Furys.”

Tyson Fury vs. Mariusz Wach: Why fans won't see the fight
live

Fury (35-2) and Anthony
Joshua (29-4) are gearing up for a super-fight in the near
future, with both English heavyweights set to fight once before
their clash. While Fury squares off against Wach to build up to his
highly anticipated bout against Joshua, “A.J.” is set to collide
with Kristian Prenga on July 25 at Jeddah Superdome in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia. Unlike Fury's fight, Joshua vs. Prenga will be
streamed live on DAZN.

Fury is coming off a victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov, which saw
him return to action for the first time since back-to-back title
losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. Meanwhile, Joshua is coming off a
stoppage win over Jake Paul,
which saw him rebound from a loss against Daniel
Dubois.

Poirier (30-10) was arrested last month at Hartsfield–Jackson
Atlanta International Airport for threatening to fight a police
officer while intoxicated. He even used a racial slur directed at
the officer. “The Diamond” was subsequently charged with public
drunkenness and is currently out on bail.

The former interim champion has now disclosed that the UFC reached
out and offered assistance.

Atlanta airport arrest

Poirier recently revealed that UFC executive Hunter Campbell
reached out to him after his arrest. Campbell told him that the UFC
wouldn't abandon him in difficult times after he fought in the
promotion for over a decade and assured Poirier that they have his
back. However, Poirier didn't hear personally from Dana
White.

“Literally one day after the arrest and all that happened, Hunter
Campbell of the UFC reached out to me and asked what he could do,
that the UFC’s got my back, anything they could help with, to let
them know,†Poirier told Ariel Helwani. “I believe his exact words
were something along the lines of, ‘I can’t let somebody who’s
fought for this company for over 15 years try to handle all of this
on his own. We have your back. Let us know what you need from us.'
I haven’t heard from Dana. Hunter is the one who reached out.â€

Poirier owned up to his mistake without making any excuses and
openly admits to struggling with his mental health since retiring
from the UFC last year. He is still under contract with the
promotion and hasn't entirely ruled out a return, but he has
committed to sobriety long-term.

Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight Santiago
Ponzinibbio continues to fight for the love of the sport.

Ponzinibbio (30-9) is set to make his 21st UFC appearance against
Sam
Patterson (14-3) at
UFC Abu Dhabi. The 39-year-old MMA veteran recently explained
why he continues fighting.

bout with Sam Patterson

Ponzinibbio claims he is financially set and can retire comfortably
if he wants to. However, the Argentine is forever a fighter at
heart and relishes the challenge of every new opponent. While
Ponzinibbio has the liberty to turn down offers at this stage in
his career, he says he accepts anyone the UFC pits against him.

“It's what I have in my blood,†Ponzinibbio said in a recent
interview. “It's my instinct. I love to fight. Thank God, I don't
need to fight more. If I want to stop, I can stop. It's not about
money; it's just about what I love. I love the competition, the
challenge. I can say, ‘No, I don't want this fight because there's
nothing to gain.' But no, I take every fight. I always take the
fight the company gives me.â€

Ponzinibbio has fought the who's who of the welterweight division
in his UFC career spanning more than a decade. However, he has
dropped three of his last four bouts and is coming off a stoppage
loss against Daniel
Rodriguez. Meanwhile, Patterson is coming off a decision loss
against Michael
Page that snapped a four-fight first-round finishing
streak.
