    Should boxers (especially champions) be allowed to insert rematch clauses into contracts that override the governing body rules?

    In today's world the top heavyweights might only fight twice a year if we're lucky, and the top contenders have to wait a long time for fights.

    Take Fury/ Wlad - in my opinion Fury should have had to face his mando first and not have to fight Wlad. It's ridiculous that Fury was stripped due to a contractual issue.

    The governing bodies should be the only one's who can order rematches if they feel it necessary - e.g. someone was injured or the decision is suspect etc.
