Regardless of who wins the fight for the title of undisputed world lightweight champion on October 17, between Vasyl Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOs) and Teofimo Lopez (15-0, 12 KOs), he will not be bound by a contract for rematch.
“I'm against the rematch clauses,” explained Bob Arum, promoter of both champions. "Eddie Hearn has been using them too often lately, prescribing rematch in every contract. This could mean that he doesn't believe in his boxers."
“I approach it this way: let them fight, let there be a winner and a loser, and whether they want revenge later is up to them. I will not demand this, and I do not like to include clauses of rematch in contracts,” adds the head of Top Rank.
