Promoter Frank Warren has offered to meet rival Eddie Hearn in ‘a top-end restaurant or greasy spoon cafe’ to get some of the biggest fights in British boxing made.

Between the two of them, Warren and Hearn represent almost all of the highest-profile UK fighters including Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Anthony Yarde, Joe Joyce, Daniel Dubois, Billy Joe Saunders, Callum Smith and Katie Taylor.

Yet incredibly the promoters have never met due to their well-publicised fractured relationship over the past decade.

But now, after years of trading insults back and forth, Warren has called up Hearn and asked him to meet in order to thrash out deals for some of the biggest British fights.

"It was only a brief phone call after I had left a voicemail with him," Warren told The Sun.

"But  we have agreed to meet, which is brilliant for the sport.

"People have tried to poison the well already and predict it falling through but it is in our power to do it now, we have taken the first step.

"I don’t care if we meet in a top-end restaurant or a greasy spoon cafe, he can order champagne and lobster or a fried egg sandwich and builder’s tea.

"If he wants to meet in a phonebox,  it’s all fine with me. And I will be paying — he can leave his wallet at home."

Warren released a poster earlier this week detailing nine fights which he wishes to make happen in a BT v Sky-style face-off.

Those fights were:

• Daniel Dubois v Dillian Whyte
• Anthony Yarde v Joshua Buatsi
• Joe Joyce v Dereck Chisora
• Liam Williams v Demetrius Andrade
• Charlie Edwards v Kal Yafai
• Nathan Gorman v Dave Allen
• Hamzah Sheeraz v Ted Cheeseman
• Archie Sharp v Zelfa Barrett
• Chris Jenkins v Conor Benn

Hearn responded by insisting that Dubois-Whyte and Joyce-Chisora could not take place due to the fact that all four currently have alternative match-ups in the pipeline.

However, he did stress that the other seven fights were very much in play.

He said: "I acknowledge fans want to see great fights, so if there's business to be done, I'm all for it."

Hearn has agreed to meet Warren after the conclusion of his final ‘Fight Camp’ show on August 22.

The second of his four events in the garden of Matchroom’s headquarters takes place tonight and will be headlined by Terri Harper v Natasha Jonas, the first ever all-British women’s world title fight.
