Tyson Fury suffers his second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in their heavyweight world championship rematch. Despite claiming victory, Fury's promoter expresses bewilderment at the judges' decision. Eddie Hearn, promoter for Anthony Joshua, sees a lucrative 'Battle of Britain' clash as the next big fight for Fury.

But Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, believes a 'Battle of Britain' clash at Wembley could still be a sell-out fight even though his fighter is also coming off a loss -- Joshua was knocked out by IBF champion Daniel Dubois in October. Hearn added:"Tyson Fury is still potentially at the peak of his powers, just not good enough to beat Oleksandr Usyk.
