Tyson Fury's last opponent forced to quit during bizarre and brutal 6 vs 1 bout

Mariusz Wach was forced to quit during a brutal and bizarre fight against six opponents at once, just three weeks after he lost to Tyson Fury.

Fury selected the 46-year-old as a warm-up for his proposed fight with Anthony Joshua later this year. Although no details have been confirmed, there is an initial agreement in place for the British heavyweights to fight in November, as the search for the perfect venue continues.

Fury beat Wach with a seventh-round stoppage in Pattaya, Thailand, in what was a comfortable contest for the 'Gypsy King.'

While all eyes will be on Fury's next fight, there was also plenty of interest as Wach returned to the ring in bizarre circumstances over the weekend.

Fresh from his defeat to the 'Gypsy King', the Polish veteran took on a group of six fighters named the 'Gypsy Team' in a handicap showdown organised by Prime MMA.

The unique contest consisted of five-minute rounds inside an MMA cage and saw Wach switch to K-1 kickboxing while in MMA gloves.

Wach went viral last year when he stopped three former MMA fighters in a similar clash, but found things much harder against double the opponents this time.

He began to take a beating in the opening round, when two of the six fighters landed strong punches to the head and body. The fighters took it in turns to deliver hits to the Pole, who held strong as he struggled to fight back with any real meaning.

Wach was visibly hurt after the opening round, and things didn't get any better as the contest progressed. In both the second and third rounds, he continued to take a beating as he was pinned to the back of the cage and hit from all angles.

The veteran fighter not only had blood running down his face from the several cuts, but also took several hard blows to the legs that left them bright red.

At the end of the third round of the scheduled five, the fight referee was quick to halt the action and stop Wach from taking any further hits before the final bell.

Although there were still two scheduled rounds remaining, Wach's corner withdrew him from the contest to bring an end to the ugly action and try to protect the veteran from an even heavier beating.

14 years after he fought Wladimir Klitschko, it is a sorry end to his impressive career that he feels a need to be involved in novelty exhibition bouts that undermine his reputation.
