A Ngai Tahu professional boxer
shows us his softer side today as he receives a tattoo in honour
of his grandfather, famous cricket commentator,
Alan Richards.
With only one loss in his boxing career,
Robert Berridge tells Te Karere of his dreams
to become a world boxing pro.
To family, he's Robert Berridge.
But to his fans, he's 'The Butcher'.
Today this descendant of Ngai Tahu is getting these words etched in ink
in honour of his grandfather, Alan Richards.
With only one loss,
he plans to use these words to get him to the top.
But for now,
he's concentrating on getting stronger.
Mid-year he'll step back into the ring,
hoping to use these words to become the very top of his game.
Pere Wihongi, Te Karere.
