The two boxing matchmakers have spent an age going at each other with verbal onslaughts in interviews.

But the two have been brought together by Turki Al-Alshikh of Saudi Arabia, who is putting on a huge event on December 23.

It sees Anthony Joshua, 34, fight Otto Wallin, 32, with Deontay Wilder, 38, also in action on the same night against Joseph Parker, 31.

Both Hearn and Warren are promoting the show and fans were stunned as they shared the stage and even shared a laugh and joke.

One said: “Wow miracles do happen.”

Another added: “Wilder and AJ shaking hands, Frank and Eddie laughing and joking. What a time to be alive.”

One commented: “The face off we all wanted.”

Hearn admitted he was happy to see grudges put aside in the interest of business.

He said: “That was the first time I met Frank tonight which is ridiculous really but I think we all understand how good this is for our business, our fighters and the sport.

“Everything else is left at the door for now, I’m sure the rivalry will continue but who knows?

“It wasn’t really awkward at all. I’m not sure I’m on the Christmas card list but if it benefits Matchroom and for him if it benefits Queensberry I don’t think we are going to jeopardise this opportunity.”

Warren added: “I have nothing to park, I’m good as gold and doing what I want to do which is putting these fights together.

“I’m as happy as you can be. Why wouldn’t I be? We will work together don’t you worry about that.”
