I promise you that we're going to have it out one day.
Or: "...have it out soon."
This is a popular way of expressing the idea in the US (see references), and would seem to reflect the meaning of the Spanish.
Happy Holidays.

It would depend on what the context suggests about when the confrontation is likely to take place.

contact each other face to face
sounds appropriately here. Good luck, LiliG!

: The context here is a *confrontation*; furthermore, in English, no native speaker would say to someone else, "I promise you that we will contact each other face to face."

Well, probably you're right (no proper google-hits) (but it was in my dico as "military"). (face-to-face contact with an alien/*86,400 for "face-to-face contact" war* google) Perhaps 'come' is better. http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/face to face with
