Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are likely to have a rematch as part of their signed deal, according to boxing reporter Mike Coppinger. The deal reportedly includes a two-way rematch clause, meaning that the loser can force a second fight. The IBF (International Boxing Federation) has updated their heavyweight rankings and will order a fight between Filip Hrgovic and Otto Wallin for the vacant IBF heavyweight world title next year if the winner of the Fury vs. Usyk fight is stripped of the title, as expected. Anthony Joshua is ranked third by the IBF. Dave Allen, a boxer who has sparred with both Fury and Usyk, has made his prediction for the fight. The IBF has sent a letter to both Fury and Usyk's camps confirming that the winner of their undisputed heavyweight world title fight will be ordered to defend against IBF mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic next, with no exceptions allowed. However, if Fury and Usyk have a rematch, the IBF title would be stripped.
