Frank Maloney has accused Lennox Lewis of treating him like a slave after the former undisputed heavyweight world champion sacked him as manager just 10 days before a world title rematch with Hasim Rahman in Las Vegas.
The duo split following an 11-year association after Maloney refused to sign a new contract.
Maloney told The Sunnewspaper: "On Friday of last week I had a telephone conference call with Lennox's business manager Adrian Ogun and a new member of the team, Jerome Anderson.
"Anderson asked me to sign a new contract that included a confidentiality clause - this was in effect a slave-labour contract.
