More follows... The Newbridge boxer denied breaking a promise to Mr Warren, who managed him for 10 years from 1997.
Calzaghe then took over promoting his own fights.
In his main evidence put before the court during the hearing in February, he said he signed a succession of management contracts with Mr Warren.
But he said: "I was often pressurised to sign - Mr Warren would use some argument or other to persuade me that I had no other option."
'Conflict of interest'
He claimed he had been persuaded to sign deals under duress whilst suffering dehydration and hunger preparing for fights.
Mr Warren's legal team rejected this, producing copies of contracts which they said were always scrutinised by the fighter's solicitors.
Calzaghe's legal team had also put it to Mr Warren that there had been a conflict of interest between his role as the fighter's manager and his promoter.
The boxer told the court that because Mr Warren was his manager and promoted his fights, he had a "great deal of control" over his boxing career without any independent professional voice on his behalf.
But Mr Warren called such claims "ridiculous" and said: "He can't say that I done him down.
"I advised him which fights would be good for him at each stage of his career."
