Joseph Parker s management has confirmed the split between the Kiwi heavyweight boxer and his long-time trainer Kevin Barry which was first revealed in the Herald this morning.
In a statement from manager David Higgins, Parker, the former WBO heavyweight world champion, paid tribute to Barry, saying the partnership had ended amicably.
The pair decided to part ways yesterday following Parker s unanimous points win over Junior Fa at Auckland s Spark Arena on Saturday.
After three weeks of campaigning as the only slate to run, Strive won the 2021 election. The slate secured 71 percent of the vote, with the no confidence vote receiving 29 percent.

With slavery s impact, how do Black residents find ancestors

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) Her tree was incomplete.
That’s how it looked to Melissa Evans when she compared her family tree to the ones created by her third-grade classmates. Some of her white classmates had branches stretching back centuries. Evans, one of only a handful of Black students at her school in Gulfport, traced her family to her great-grandparents.
When other students asked why Evans’ tree was so short, their teacher didn’t want to talk about slavery, how it tore apart Black families in the United States, and Evans isn’t sure it would have been the right setting for the conversation anyway. More than 30 years later, she remembers the feeling of embarrassment, of lacking something.
