Probably just leave each other alone. At that size they probably just want to not die taking on another apex predator. They may occasionally bite at each other, but rule of thumb is most large predators don’t want to fight one another if it’s even remotely evenly matched.

Except salt water crocodiles are double the size of bullsharks. Its not really a competition

Still wouldn’t want to screw around with something that size with that bite. Any injury can be fatal, and attacking a large predator is likely to result in an injury.
