She has made a formal application to London’s High Court.

The row follows the death of their dad Pietro Vincenzo Calzaghe, 69, known as Enzo, in 2018, and their mother Jacqueline, who died last year.

Boxing trainer Enzo left £976,213, while Jacqueline left £448,129.

Sonia, 46, who lives in a three-bed semi in Pontllanfraith, Caerphilly, three miles from her brother, said: “It’s a private family matter.”

A woman at Calzaghe’s luxury home behind security gates said he was not available to comment.
