Mr Warren is trying to take out an injunction to stop this weekend’s world WBA welterweight fight in Boston between Ricky Hatton, who is managed by Mr Hobson, and American Luis Collazo.
Lawyers representing Mr Warren are claiming that Mr Hatton cannot take the title even if he wins the fight as he was contracted to fight one of Mr Warren’s fighters next.
But Mr Hatton has stepped up a weight and relinquished his light-welterweight IBF world title in order to try to conquer the USA.
This meant that he could not fight Mr Warren’s Soulemayne M’Baye, and Mr Warren has issued a writ claiming for potential lost earnings.
Mr Hobson, a local property developer and sponsor of St John’s Football Club, claims that Mr Warren is still bitter about losing the management of Mr Hatton to himself.
