New Zealand has revealed that they will be investigating about the kickboxing event held for children. The clash between Jasmine Parr, 8, and Georgina Barton, 7, was held at Broadwater PCYC on Saturday night for $100 prize money.
Child Safety and Sports Minister Phil Reeves says he was appalled by images of the girls in the fight.
Mr Reeves says he has instructed the director-general of the Department of Communities to investigate the situation.
He says he understands children may enjoy the sport but that there are greater considerations.
