    No rematch clause needed for the Dubois fight with a belt on the line but one needed for the Prenga fight .

    That's irrelevant. One-way rematch clauses are a cancer to boxing which punishes those who don't have big promoters backing them.

    AJ has probably had a rematch clause for every fight over the last 10 years. Not really the shock you think this is.

    I know Hearn claimed there was a rematch clause but Warren said there wasnt.

    The prize is fury fight. There must be no chance of that getting upset

    Far too much money involved with the Joshua v Fury fight to potentially have it derailed with a riskier opponent and it’s as simple as that imo .

    I honestly don't know. Maybe so AJ can feign looking bad to lull Fury into a false sense of security? Or because the Saudis really believe he's incapable of beating anyone else prior to Fury?

    Either way, it doesn't look great.

    I wouldn't trust either of them if they told me that the sky is blue.

    Because when it comes to fighting bums, once you pop you can’t stop.

    I think his management understand that he's always at risk for being destroyed by a top 20 type operator. It happened against Ruiz, but they did a great cover up job by winning the rematch against Obese Andy, installing the new talking point that it was a fluke.

    Hearn got caught out here

    When. Pushed further it turned out he had another fight contracted with Rhyiad season and that the Dubois rematch was a possibility
    Not actually contracted

    It's not irrelevant

    I agree the majority of times such clauses are annoying but what I said is true for the most part
