The oldest son of Edinburgh boxing legend Ken Buchanan claims he has not been allowed to see a copy of his father's will.
The news comes just a month after Raymond Fraser Buchanan claimed he missed Ken's burial after his younger brother Mark failed to notify him about it.
Raymond says Mark, and close friend Owen Smith, who had legal power of attorney over the champion's affairs, have ignored messages from him about Ken's estate. The 57-year-old has shared a video message his father made suggesting he was to be given the famous ring Buchanan received on his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Speaking to the Record, Raymond said: "I loved my dad and he was also my hero. I'd love the ring as my dad wanted me to have it. Anything to do with my dad's career, I would never part with. I would want anything like that always to stay in the family.
"I've asked about a will, I've asked about the ring, but they're not even replying to me. It's a really shabby way to treat his son."
The former undisputed world lightweight boxing champion died on April 1 aged 77, He spent his final years in an Edinburgh care home and was suffering from dementia.
Raymond, who lives in Lanarkshire, last spoke to Ken just three days earlier. He said: "The last thing he said to me was 'I love you, Son'. I treasure that."
Raymond attended the funeral at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh where hundreds of mourners lined the streets to pay their respects, but he and his partner Allana and their daughters Charli, 15, and Skyla, ten, sat in the third row.
Last year, Raymond told the Record about learning that his sporting hero as a young boy, Ken Buchanan, was actually his dad.
Ken had dated Raymond's mum Maria in the 60s but they split before he was born. Ken went on to marry second wife Carol and they had two children, Mark and Karen.
When Raymond learned that the boxing hero was actually his father, the pair developed a close bond. Despite Ken's burial at Piershill Cemetery being private, Raymond expected to be involved and when he learned he'd missed it, he asked Mark: "Why wasn't I there?"
Mark replied: "It was kept secret as per dad's wishes and you never asked for any details or anything about it so I thought you were happy with just coming [to the funeral]."
Raymond replied: "You never sent me any details. I wouldn't have missed my dad's burial for the world."
Raymond added: "I always tried to fit in with his family, but it's been a struggle. I don't deserve to be treated like this."
The Record called Mark and Smith to ask for comment but neither picked up. A text sent to both asking about the will, any last wishes and the whereabouts of the ring went unanswered.
