JAKARTA - Former British professional boxer Prince Naseem Hamed has gained significant weight when he became entangled in a £12 million (Rp216.99 billion) dispute with his brothers over the wealth of his late parents.

The 48-year-old, who held several featherweight world championships during his 10-year career in the ring, has been gaining weight in recent years. According to his brother, Ali, Hamed was traumatized and stressed by the death of their mother two years ago.

"The weight is the result of trauma and stress," Ali told The Sun. "He turned on himself and just ate and ate."

Naseem was worth around £50 million when he retired in 2002, and was the second richest boxer in Britain behind Lennox Lewis at the time.

However, he squandered much of his fortune on whimsical and frivolous purchases - including a massive mango farm in Yemen.

Now, Hamed wants to make amends and sue his parents' entire fortune, arguing that he gave them the money to buy a house which has increased in value to £12 million.

However, his eight siblings insisted that the money was a gift and not an investment.

"(My brother) is greedy," Ali, 44, insisted. "The more you eat in life, the hungrier you are."

Ali may be right, because despite losing some of his fortune, his brother is still living the good life and is currently renting a £1.4 million townhouse around Windsor Castle.

Hamed won 36 of his 37 professional fights and holds the WBO, IBO and WBC featherweight belts.

After retiring at the age of 28, he is believed to have put his fortune into properties that have paid dividends. , And a photo that circulated last February, Hamed was seen with his son, Aadam in a gym. He is determined to help his son achieve a similar dream in boxing.
