The boxing world is already looking beyond this weekend's highly anticipated Saudi Arabia showdown, with Frank Warren confirming that Tommy Fury and Jake Paul are contractually bound for an immediate rematch regardless of who emerges victorious.
No Escape Clause: Contract Demands Second Bout
In an exclusive revelation that adds another layer of drama to Sunday's fight, promoter Frank Warren disclosed that both fighters have signed agreements guaranteeing a second encounter. "There is a rematch clause," Warren confirmed to the Mirror. "There's a two-way rematch clause, so whoever wins or loses, there will be another fight."
Unprecedented Guarantee in Celebrity Boxing
This contractual arrangement marks a significant departure from traditional boxing negotiations, ensuring the rivalry continues regardless of Sunday's outcome. The clause represents a smart business move by both camps, capitalising on the massive public interest surrounding these two polarising figures.
Warren emphasised the financial wisdom behind the arrangement, noting "It's a no-brainer to do it again because it's a big, big event." The promoter's confidence stems from the enormous global attention the fight has generated, with millions expected to tune in worldwide.
More Than Pride: What's Really at Stake
While both fighters have publicly declared this contest as being about respect and legacy, the rematch clause reveals the commercial reality behind one of boxing's most lucrative modern rivalries. The guaranteed second fight protects the substantial financial investments of both parties while ensuring fans get the extended drama they crave.
Warren's revelation confirms what many in the boxing community suspected - that the Fury-Paul rivalry represents a franchise rather than a single event. The promoter's comments suggest both fighters recognise the long-term potential of their rivalry, transcending the typical one-off nature of celebrity boxing matches.
Implications for Both Fighters' Careers
For Tommy Fury, the rematch clause provides insurance should the unexpected occur on Sunday. For Jake Paul, it guarantees another opportunity to prove his boxing credentials against a legitimate professional from fighting royalty. The arrangement ensures that regardless of Sunday's result, the conversation between these two combatants is far from over.
As Warren succinctly put it: "Whoever wins or loses, there will be another fight." The boxing world now waits with bated breath not just for Sunday's outcome, but for the guaranteed second chapter in this ongoing saga.
