What do you mean he didn't have to accept? If a rematch clause is in the contract it's in the contract. It would be up to Wlad if he wants to enforce it or not.
Fury chose to accept Klitcshko's offer instead of going to purse bids, if the fight went to purse bids there would have been no rematch clause in the contract. It sucks but Fury put himself in this position.
It shouldn't be considered voluntary if there was a rematch clause in the contract, which there was. A rematch clause is precisely that, Fury can't refuse it or else face legal ramifications. This is totally different than any other mandatory fight NOT involving a rematch clause in the contract.
IBF has rules against rematch clauses taking priority over a mandatory. Rematch clauses don't negate a mandatory if it's been ordered and Duva knows this, that's why she's gunning to get Fury stripped
