You can try the split cage introduction method, and see if
they will get used to the idea or not.
Whatever you do DO NOT do direct introduction. They WILL
fight.
I'd give split cage two weeks, unless you see signs earlier
that they are wanting to be together, and not to fight. (sleeping
up against the divider next to each other, etc)
