From Checkpoint, 5:43 pm on 2 December 2024

The wife of a man who died after taking part in a charity boxing match said she thinks the practise is abhorrent, and wants to see it stopped. In November 2018 Kain Parsons, who was 37, took part in a charity boxing event in Christchurch. He was knocked unconscious during the fight, and rushed to hospital, but never regained consciousness. His life support was turned off three days later. Rachel Graham reports.
