Bute wants the rematch

[Cressa121]

When Froch got interviewed on SkySports News last week, he said something about an IBF rule that prevents someone that was stopped in a title fight from immediately challenging for the title again in their next fight. Anyone know if this rule is legit? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else when talking about the rematch clause here.

If that's true where does the rematch clause end? Its contracted to have a rematch but it wont happen after the next fight, or the next fight, or the next fight...
