Tyson Fury has overhauled his social media as his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk draws closer. The 36-year-old suffered his first career defeat when he faced the Ukrainian in May as Usyk became the heavyweight division's first undisputed champion in more than two decades. Fury was at ringside as longtime rival Anthony Joshua was unceremoniously defeated by Daniel Dubois on Saturday and since the fight has shifted his output on social media.

Eddie Hearn has opened up on Anthony Joshua's future plans after his devastating defeat by Daniel Dubois, giving fresh hope to a blockbuster showdown against Tyson Fury. Joshua faced Dubois in an IBF world heavyweight title fight at Wembley on Saturday, but struggled from the off, before the 34-year-old was knocked out in the fifth round. It has led to uncertainty about Joshua's career going forwards after he missed out on the chance to become a three-time heavyweight world champion.

London played host to the event on Saturday night, which saw Dubois upset to odds to knock out his fellow Brit in the fifth round to propel himself to the top of the heavyweight scene.

Joshua, meanwhile, faces an uncertain future, but has vowed to continue fighting after calls came for him to retire at the age of 34 following the fourth defeat of his career.

Lewis Briggs, 24, turned around on the witness stand and told his victim's family sitting immediately behind him almost within arm's reach: 'I want to say sorry. It was never my intention to kill anyone. It was an accident.' Slain 19-year-old Ulrich Perez's sister Abril, 25, broke down and had to be comforted by their emotional dad Juan Carlos Espinoza at the Audiencia Provincial Court in Malaga as the nine jurors looked on.

Anthony Joshua has broken his silence in his first sighting since he was beaten by Daniel Dubois at Wembley and insists he can come back to become a world champion once again.

Tyson Fury went into full meltdown mode after watching his potential future opponent get knocked out after suffering a brutal right hand blow by Daniel Dubois. Fury who was ringside at Wembley to watch Joshua vs Dubois hit out at the 34-year-old for being a 'silly ****' after losing the bout which had he won would have made him a three-time world champion. However the night couldn't have gone any worse for Fury's rival who hit the canvas three times before the fight was stopped in the fifth round after Dubois floored the veteran boxer for a fourth and final time.

Tyson Fury has delivered his assessment on Daniel Dubois ' performance after the underdog knocked two-time champion Anthony Joshua out in a memorable clash at Wembley. Dubois entered the fight looking to hold on to the IBF heavyweight belt but knowing that a fired-up AJ was aiming to join an elite group of boxers, including Muhammad Ali , who have been three-time world champions. Played out in front of a record 96,000-strong crowd under the famous arch, the bout delivered on the promise of being a 'firefight' with neither fighter paying much attention to defending or point-winning, instead winding themselves up for a knockout blow. And it was Dubois who produced a coming-of-age performance to dominate the two-time champion for four-and-a half-rounds before a dramatic exchange of punches in the fifth saw the underdog land the decisive strike.

Conor McGregor clearly enjoyed watching Daniel Dubois dismantle Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening. Dubois knocked out Joshua in the fifth round to retain his IBF world heavyweight title in front of 96,000 fans in London. One of those fans was UFC legend McGregor, who was caught on camera excitedly jumping from his seat when Dubois floored AJ for the final time.
