Putting Rivalry Aside
Boxing promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren have long been known for their intense rivalry and massive egos. However, to the surprise of many, the two have decided to put their differences aside and work together.
An Unexpected Partnership
After years of feuding and never even speaking to each other, Hearn and Warren recently met for the first time at a joint press conference. They announced that they will be collaborating to host a major boxing event in Saudi Arabia on December 23.
Heavyweight Showdown
The event in Riyadh will feature three explosive heavyweight fights: Anthony Joshua against Otto Wallin, Deontay Wilder facing Joseph Parker, and Daniel Dubois taking on Jarrell Miller. Boxing fans can catch the action on DAZN, PPV for £19.99.
A New Era for British Boxing
Warren and Hearn's decision to work together is seen as a positive move for the sport. By pooling their resources, they hope to give fans the fights they want to see and elevate British boxing to new heights.

Money Talks
According to Warren, the driving force behind their partnership is money. With Saudi sheikhs investing heavily in boxing, it makes sense for the promoters to join forces and capitalize on the opportunity.
A Turning Point
Hearn and Warren both believe that their collaboration could be a turning point for British boxing. They are committed to bringing about positive change and capturing the imagination of the public.
Breaking Down Borders
Warren's vision is to break down borders and give fans the fights they've been craving. He sees this as an opportunity to turbo-charge boxing and bring it back into the mainstream.
Doors Open for Future Business
Hearn echoes Warren's sentiments and emphasizes the importance of not letting past grievances interfere with this opportunity. He believes that this partnership opens the doors for future business ventures.
A Contrast to the Past
While Warren and Hearn's rivalry has been intense in recent years, it pales in comparison to the bitter feuds of the past. Boxing journalist Colin Hart recalls the intense hatred between Jack Solomons and Harry Levene, two rival promoters from decades ago.
Despite their differences, Hearn and Warren are determined to work together and bring about positive change in the sport they both love.
