10:05 The Boxer
Chris Kenny has been coaching young working class kids in boxing for the last 43 years in Titahi Bay north of Wellington. Chris Kenny was born in Limerick, Ireland - growing up down the road from Frank McCourt - author of Angela's Ashes, in what they both describe as grinding poverty. He began boxing in Limerick in a pretty primative gym - and continued as the family moved to England, and as he eventually found himself settling in New Zealand. His own boxing career was halted by illness, at which time he turned to coaching, and 43 years later, he's still at it, taking youngsters under his wing in a tough-love kind of way.
