No rematch clause for Fury vs Joshua super-fight

British heavyweight boxing champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are set to face off in a high-stakes one-off bout on December 11. The event, taking place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, promises to be a monumental clash between the former world champions. Despite the anticipation surrounding the match, neither fighter will be guaranteed a rematch, as there is no contractual provision for a second meeting.

Both Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, and Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, have confirmed the absence of a rematch clause, though they leave the door slightly ajar for potential future matchups. The stakes are reportedly high for the loser, given the fighters' near ends of their careers. If Fury were to lose, he might consider resuming his rivalry with Usyk.

Conversely, if Joshua were to fall short, he would need to ponder his next steps and timeline for his boxing career.
