"It's all a learning curve," tells Shane. "All I used to know is how to box and how to farm. So now, dabbling in the world of business is very challenging."

"Nothing about the last 12 months has been easy," tells Casey. "Baby was four weeks old when we went into the three-and-a-half-month lockdown last year. Shane and I were both working full-time and trying to juggle looking after Kōwhai. It was tough but we got through it. It has definitely made our relationship a lot stronger.' Shane and Casey met 39 15 years ago when he was speaking at an event she attended. Smitten with the heavyweight champion, she asked him out.

"My New Year's resolution was to go on a date with someone," says Casey. "It was three months into the year and I hadn't found anyone. I thought he was cheeky, funny and a little bit quirky."

Shane quips, "You forgot to say handsome!"
