Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Usyk Will Have a Rematch Clause, Says Hearn

[Fighter78]

yeah Hearn's gotta be safe with his glass jaw Nigerian Prince, but another embarrassing KO of Joshua might end his position as a top $ earner.

Lol...you peasants are still trying to live off of that once in a lifetime "behind the ear" punch that Ruiz landed.....its getting really pathetic and desperate now. Get a life and move on....none of the current crop of duckers and bum beaters in the heavyweight division is beating Anthony Joshua. Wake up and come to grips with reality. You were gonna be a sad SOB when you see fury stretched out on the canvas so you better be glad that fight won't ever happen...smh

Hearn and Joshua are a joke this is becoming ******. So forget Fury next and poor Joyce has to wait a year if not 2 as they will fight Ussyk again in December then Fury July and December and the whole Heavyweight Division waits on Joshua because Hearn thinks Joshua owns the Heavyweight Division, so much for Hearn having faith in Joshua's abilities. I've said time and again this will carry on until the WBA, WBC, IBF & WBO state you can't fight consecutive title shots if you lose you need 2 more wins to get another opportunity. Hearn is making a mockery of the sport I love even Whyte gets rematch clauses as proved in the Povetkin fight. Hearn needs to leave this sport his an absolute joke. Joshua needs to man up and stop this as well.

Wtf are you talking about? If the entire heavyweight division is "waiting on Joshua" then that must mean HE OWNS THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION....LOL....Jesus Christ! Some of you guys are beyond slow.

Lol, Hearn is really scared his robot loses that fight.

Firstly stop blaspheming. If you actually read for a minute what I wrote, because every fight Joshua has has a rematch clause, thats the lack of confidence Hearn has in Joshua. The Heavyweight Division is on hold because of this. No fighter owns the sport after Joshua the sport remains. It's a mockery because they only fight once or twice a year. It's not fair on fighters like Joyce who have to wait this out then most probably wait on fight l with Fury which will be a 2 fight deal. So stop getting your knickers in a twiist because others have a different point of view.

In all seriousness, I had Usyk winning, but I gave Chisora 4-5 rounds, and was not really too impressed with Usyk. As far as Chisora goes I'd like to see him vs Babic.

Babic chisora would be great, now I think of it, I cannot believe that thought had never entered my mind before! Would be FIREWORKS.

Liston-Ali did NOT have a rematch clause. A second “secret contract” was uncovered. The original contract DID NOT have a rematch clause because the WBA did not allow rematch clauses which sanctioned the first fight.

In addition there was no “rematch clause” with SRL Duran. SRL demanded it and his team (one of which who quit his team) wanted him to take a tune up. Duran granted him a rematch because the money was right. These “clauses” are a thing of more recent history.

February 25, 1964, it was discovered that the two boxers had a contract which gave Inter-Continental Promotions, Inc., a firm organized to promote Liston's fights, the right to promote Ali's first fight as champion—if he should beat Liston—and pick his opponent (Liston, of course).

Leonard- Duran rematch clause. Pick any link you like. https://www.google.com/search?q=ray+...4dUDCBE&uact=5

Anymore nonsense mr boxingfanatic?

[Robbie Barrett]

Rematch clauses are NOT STANDARD when it comes to mandatories. Its just Hearn not fully believing in his fighter....which is sad because Joshua is clearly the #1 heavyweight.

Yes they are. Unless they go to purse bid. FFS.

Another hypocrisy filled **** show, yes Hearn invented the rematch clause, never ever been seen before.

While half this place celebrates Wilder vs Fury 3, courtesy of a rematch clause.

Eddie "2 fights" Hearn

Even though Joshua came apart against Ruiz , Usyk has done nothing to convince me that he's any good up with the big boys and even though Joshua is vulnerable it is against the heavyweight divisions elite that he gets found out ...Usyk is not or at least has not shown. So if Joshua who is 2/5 on to beat Usyk does the expected and overwhelms the much smaller guy then because of Hearns pathetic rematch antics allows us to see it all again......what a shyster!
