Eddie Hearn says he has a “lot to discuss” with Frank Warren after the rival promoters had a rare phone conversation as they look to revitalize British boxing.
Warren wants the best fighters in his Queensberry promotions set-up to face the top boxers with Hearn’s Matchroom.
“I gave him a buzz and said later in August or September we can have a chat and a bite to eat,” Hearn told IFL TV.
“I’m focused on saving boxing. The sport is in a horrendous position.”
Warren and Hearn’s companies are looking to work together to get Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to face each other in a historic all-British fight for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion.
WBC champion Fury is signed to Queensberry, while WBA, IBF and WBO belt holder Joshua is with Matchroom.
