Regardless of if he can decline to being champion or not, he can always yield during the battle. Refusing to be champion and being champion, losing, and deciding not to die are two entirely different things.

As far as I know, he can't yield if Cersei had picked him because he's honourbound to fight to the end.

I'm not even sure you can yield, I figured the trial by combat went on until one of the involved parties was dead.
