Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren A First Meeting Marked by Long-Standing Rivalry

Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren, two boxing promoter titans known for their ongoing rivalry, recently had their first encounter. Despite years of verbal jabs and conflicting interests, the two met during the announcement of a significant boxing event in Saudi Arabia, bringing Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois under one roof for a mega-card.
Their long-standing feud, characterized by public exchanges and disagreements over fighters like Joshua and Tyson Fury, has been a centerpiece of boxing drama. Hearn revealed on talkSPORT that despite being in the same space as Warren previously, they had never exchanged greetings or handshakes in their 15 years as promoters. Reflecting on their first meeting orchestrated by George, Warren's son, Hearn humorously described it as a moment akin to parental intervention, emphasizing the tension that has surrounded their relationship. The conversation also touched on Warren's recent clash with a talkSPORT pundit, Adam Catterall, during a fiery defense of Fury. Hearn, who found himself siding with Warren during the interview, highlighted the need for preparedness in defending strong opinions and engaging in robust debates. This encounter sheds light on the intriguing dynamics and long-standing animosity within the boxing promotion world. Despite the professional nature of their meeting, the history of rivalry and tension between Hearn and Warren continues to be a captivating aspect of the sport, adding layers of drama and anticipation to future interactions between the two prominent figures.
