    For rematching with Klitchko, instead of his mandatory against Glazkov.
    Glazkov could have had a step aside agreement but Fury refused to negotiate.

    So Klitchko wont fight fury unless he rematches him if he loses. Then fury gets stripped of a belt for that very rematch

    madness

    The IBF are the strictest of the organizations for enforcing their mandatories. But this one seems harsh even for them.

    Is boxing determined to kill itself off?

    So now the title will be fought for as a vacant title as well as the Fury vs Klitchcko rematch? Is it just another way to make money? Two world title fights instead of one? Or am I being mischievous?

    Fury can't complain.

    He knew the deal.

    Basically he was a mandatory challenger which meant he could fight for the world titles with no rematch clause.

    However he & his promoter took a better paid deal which also included a rematch clause.

    If Klitschko would've won there wouldn't have been an issue as he'd have fought Glazkov next.

    It is what it is. They shouldn't moan about the situation & I doubt they will as they chose money over the belt.

    FBI are doing a great job on FIFA, when do they start on boxing's governing bodies?

    This one the IBF are the only one that follow rules. It would've been dodgy if they'd not stripped dodgy.

    The WBO, WBC & in particular the WBA are dodgy beyond belief

    It's not like he's purposely avoiding the IBF number 1 contender. He's no choice but to face Vlad again. If he hadn't have taken his rematch, Fury could have fought him. The IBF are weird for not wanting their title to be defended in a blockbuster rematch. They have also made whoever their new champion ends up being look small try and irrelevant for winning a world title without beating the best the division has.

    He did have the choice.

    Fury was mandatory for Wladimir's WBA & WBO belts, Glazkov was mandatory for the IBF belt & the mandatory was due in August.

    Glazkov agreed to let Fury fight Wladimir first on the understanding that he fought the winner.

    Because the Wlad - Fury fight was a mandatory challenge there was no need for a rematch to be in the contract. However, Wlad's team offered Fury's team a contract outside of the mandatory one whereby Fury got more money but there was a rematch clause.

    This meant that if Wlad won he fought Glazkov in Spring 2016 but Fury knew that if he bet Wlad he'd have to vacate the IBF to fight Wlad in a rematch. His team chose money over belts.

    It would've been completely unfair for Glazkov to wait from August this year til September / October next year for his shot.

    For once a governing body have actually followed rules & not screwed over a fighter for a sum of money

    Spot on. There's a bit more to it than that though. Klitschko and Fury never told the IBF that the contract for the right had a rematch clause included, which is why he's been stripped as all they've done since Tyson won the fight is enforce their own rules.

    If the IBF had been informed of the rematch clause prior to the fight, and agreed with the contract and sactioning fees proposed as part of it, Fury wouldn't have been stripped.

    Own goal by Fury. But the likes of Haye, Joshua, Parker and then a series of absolute no hoper heavyweights, will all be licking their lips at another belt being up for grabs.

    I see it as a good thing. Fury vs Wlad II is a bigger/better fight. And it gives others a chance to take the IBF belt, hopefully another Brit. And hopefully, Fury comes through against Wlad, again.

    This weekend ought to be good too. Imagine Whyte beating AJ.... I can't.

    What's the point of a Klitschko rematch?

    If the likes of Fraudley and Chisora want to have another try it's nothing to do with us :)
