Brook got in the ring after the fight and both now look set to have a massive showdown at the end of the year to finally put and end to the years of verbal sparring.

Hearn told iFL TV: “It’s an absolute huge fight.

“But both have a lot of options and we will have to sit down and see.

"Neither Guy like each other, one day you’ll sit back when it’s all said and done and I don’t want to be saying I should’ve made that fight.
