Britain's Tyson Fury (left) and Poland's Mariusz Wach attend a press conference ahead of their charity boxing bout in Pattaya on July 22, 2026. (AFP) British boxer Tyson Fury insisted on Wednesday that "the best is yet to come" ahead of a charity fight in Thailand, a warm-up to his long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua."I don't feel like the world's seen the best Tyson Fury yet," said the former two-time world heavyweight champion, who turns 38 next month.Fury was speaking at an event in the Thai resort of Pattaya to promote his charity fight on Friday against Mariusz Wach, a 46-year-old Pole dubbed "The Viking".The fight in the 1,500-seat Max Muay Thai Stadium is widely viewed as a warm-up to the much-anticipated clash with fellow Briton Joshua expected later this year.But Fury said he did not want to talk about the Joshua fight, instead focusing on his presence in Thailand and saying that it left him feeling "rejuvenated"."I've been over here since December - beautiful place, beautiful people, great training facilities," he said."I feel at peace with everything, where before I had a lot of pressure on me... the rain wasn't good, I think I thrive better in obviously warmer climates."Fury marked his return from a 16-month retirement with a dominant points win over Russia's Arslanbek Makhmudov in April.He was scheduled to fight in Dublin on August 1, but said the opportunity arose to fight in Thailand "for a good cause". Proceeds from Friday's fight will go to a charity supporting underprivileged children in Pattaya.The venue is smaller than those Fury is used to, and the fight won't be broadcast live on television but will be recorded for his Netflix television series.Fury said he had "earned the right" to do what he wanted."Whoever I want to fight, from any sport, I can make that fight happen. Because I'm the Gypsy King, I do what I want," he said.He said his fights were "not about the money"."I'm boxing because I want to stay match fit and I enjoy doing it."Born into a family of Irish Traveller heritage in Wythenshawe in the Manchester suburbs, Fury turned pro in 2008.He famously dethroned long-reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, and is known for his exceptional speed despite his towering size of 6 feet 9 inches (2.06m).Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, will fight Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.It will be his first return to the ring since being involved in a car crash in Nigeria in December that killed two of his close friends.

Rahmat Shah is Afghanistan's leading run-getter in Tests and ODIs. Middle-order batter Rahmat Shah has been appointed captain of Afghanistan's Test and one-day international squads, the country's cricket board announced on Wednesday.The change in leadership comes after Hashmatullah Shahidi stepped down on Tuesday, ending a five-year stint during which Afghanistan finished sixth at the 2023 World Cup defeating former champions England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka."The Afghanistan Cricket Board appreciates Hashmatullah Shahidi's valuable service, dedication, and leadership during his tenure as captain and wishes him continued success in his future endeavours," the board said in a statement."With extensive experience in international cricket, leadership, and the team's overall structure, Rahmat Shah is well positioned to take on this important responsibility." The elevation to captaincy is a natural progression for Shah considering he was the vice-captain since May 2021 when Shahidi was announced captain. He is also Afghanistan's leading run-getter in Tests and ODIs.Rahmat, who has served as Shahidi's deputy since 2021, will begin his captaincy with a five-match ODI series in Ireland next month.

Magnus Carlsen will compete in the pilot event of the Total Chess World Championship Tour, which will be held in Budapest in November. World number one Magnus Carlsen will compete in November's pilot event of the FIDE-approved Total Chess World Championship Tour, organisers said on Tuesday. The November 10-21 tournament in Budapest will feature competition across three formats - blitz, rapid and fast classic chess - with results from all events combined to determine the overall champion. The pilot event will serve as a precursor to the inaugural global season, which is due to begin in March 2027, the organisers said. The official tour will feature four events annually in cities around the world and the overall winner will be crowned FIDE World Combined Champion. "We are convinced that the tour will attract new audiences, commercial partners and greater media interest, helping us expand chess globally," FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich said."We look forward to seeing this new chapter begin in one of Europe's great chess capitals." Organisers said the November event would provide a blueprint for the full-fledged championship circuit launching next year. "As the official pilot of the Tour, this event will set the benchmark for the global championship that begins in March 2027," Total Chess CEO Kjell Madland said. "Chess heritage runs deep here, making it the ideal place to write the next chapter before the Tour travels to cities around the world." Developed by Norway Chess, the Total Chess World Championship Tour has already secured significant commercial backing, with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Olympic cross-country skiing champion Johannes Klaebo among its investors.
