Higgins and Fury make peace

Peter Fury and David Higgins have made their peace with the British boxing trainer saying there was nothing personal in their ugly spat.

Higgins, the promoter of WBO world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker, was thrown out of the opening press conference of fight week when he angrily confronted Fury over the lack of a neutral referee for Sunday's fight in Manchester (NZT).

Fury, the father and trainer of Parker's opponent Hughie Fury, fired off an expletive-riddled volley of abuse at Higgins as the Kiwi was escorted out of the plush London hotel by security guards.
