Players and staff built a makeshift ring on Thursday, using cones and tape, with Conte and Martinez both wearing boxing gloves as they were introduced by Inter striker-turned-ring announcer Romelu Lukaku.
"Live from Madison Square Garden, It's Lautaro Martinez!" intoned Lukaku as the players cheered for the Argentine striker in a video posted on the champions' Twitter account.
Lukaku's introduction of Conte drew playful boos before the ring announcer yelled: "Let's get ready to rumble!"
The video clip marked an harmonious ending to the touchline fall out between the pair on Wednesday when Conte substituted Martinez, who reacted angrily by kicking a water bottle and throwing his shirt to the ground.
The pair appeared to have made up as they were all smiles during the friendly bout, where they exchanged a few soft punches before posing for pictures.
Otherwise, it's all been sweetness and light at Inter ever since they won the Serie A title, their first Scudetto for 11 years.
