Show Notes
The findings of a coronial inquest into the death of a charity boxer in 2018, criticised by a mother for “pulling my son’s integrity apart”, recommend a tightening up of rules and regulations for future corporate events.
The findings come as the Government proposes to repeal the Boxing and Wrestling Act of 1981.
Kain Parsons died on November 6, 2018 – three days after taking part in the “Fight for Christchurch” charity boxing event at the city’s Horncastle Arena, now Wolfbrook Arena.
Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.
