Polish heavyweight giant Mariusz Wach (31-1, 17KOs) will return to the ring on September 26 in Lodz, Poland. And then a few days later he will travel to Wladimir Klitschko's camp as sparing partner.
The WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion is preparing for a WBA/WBO mandatory defense against undefeated Tyson Fury in October.
Wach's height of 6'7 and long body will help Klitschko, who stands at around 6'6, prepare for the 6'9 Fury.
The Polish boxer's sole career defeat to Klitschko by way of a one-sided decision in 2013. Afterwards Wach tested positive for anabolic steroids and served out a suspension. Since returning last October, he's put together a four fight win streak.
