British boxer George Groves has reportedly entered a legal battle with his former trainer Adam Booth.

The 25-year-old split from Booth last month ahead of his super-middleweight title challenge against Carl Froch, which is scheduled for just over two weeks away.

It is understood that Groves attended a hearing, which included Booth and his legal team, on Tuesday with his lawyers to discuss whether the trainer will get his manager's cut of the purse for the bout, according to the Daily Mail.

Groves is said to have missed a training session while attending the hearing.
