Can fury just dump the belts and fight aj?

[REDEEMER]

The rematch clause has nothing to do with the belts.

The relinquishing of the belts had to do with the fact that Ruiz couldn’t fight anyone else except AJ for an extended period of time if he decided to skip that fight.

Yes but weren’t those stipulations put into the rematch clause for Ruiz ?


There were no stipulations like that for Fury , in fact team Wilder put the deadline when the fight had to happen which expired which makes this extremely laughable .

I guarantee there’s a penalty in the contract for ignoring the rematch clause.

I’m not saying they’ll ignore anything. But there’s always a negotiation. What if they can’t come to terms on purses, site, date, things of that nature. If it’s late July or early August and both sides haven’t agreed then a September fight is unrealistic. Plus Canelo plans to fight on Mexican Independence weekend so most likely it will have to happen well before to make that deadline.
The second fight underperformed with it being a co promotion and I don’t think there’s that much interest in a third fight.
