World champion boxer Joe Calzaghe is facing a High Court action from his former promoter Frank Warren after the pair parted company in June.
The claim was lodged via Warren's company Sports Network three days after Calzaghe announced he was planning to promote his own fights.
This ended the super-middleweight and light-heavyweight champion's 12-year association with Warren.
Full details are yet to emerge, and Warren has declined to comment.
Neither has Calzaghe been available for comment.
It emerged on Tuesday that Calzaghe's planned September super-fight with Roy Jones Jr in New York had been postponed because the Newbridge-based southpaw injured his right hand in training.
Calzaghe's father and trainer Enzo said he was optimistic the bout could be rescheduled for later in the year and 8 November was mooted by Jones.
The Welshman, unbeaten in his 15-year boxing career, is currently a big box-office draw in the USA after stepping up to light-heavyweight to beat Bernard Hopkins on a spilt points decision in April.
