Kieran Farrell came close to death in the ring but now he's a part of Daniel Dubois team
Exclusive interview: Kieran Farrell opens up on his recovery from Anthony Crolla fight and how he ended up being a crucial cog in the Daniel Dubois team Kieran Farrell was lying in bed in Heywood early in 2013 watching clips on his phone of some of Deontay Wilder 's devastating knockouts. He called for his brother, Nathan, to come watch them with him but his sibling could not. A boxing family but a brother who needed a break from the brutality of it. Yet Kieran did not. Despite it just being a few months since he nearly lost his life in the ring in December 2012. After a thrilling English title fight with Manchester favourite Anthony Crolla, Farrell slumped soon after the first defeat of his career was confirmed. A bleed on the brain caused him to collapse and he very nearly lost a much bigger fight. Yet here he was during his recovery already blissfully watching one of the most powerful punchers in the sport render opponents unconscious. Boxing nearly took life from Farrell but he couldn't stop loving it. It is why he won't even grimace in the corner of Daniel Dubois this weekend should the fighter knock out Oleksadr Usyk. 'He really didn't want to look at it,' said Farrell. 'It knocked him sick, you know what I mean? 'Whereas, I loved it. I just enjoyed it, you know, I mean, I just think boxing has been like an obsession of mine.' Farrell wanted to fight again when he recovered from the brain injury but obviously it was never an option with 30 per cent of his grey matter removed. 'I had depression. Mine might not have been publicised as much as Rick Hatton and there might not have been substance abuse and stuff like that,' said Farrell, a once promising lightweight now an in-demand trainer. 'But I just keep my head down and I have probably too many Ben & Jerry's or something, you know what I mean? 'My dad said to me, look we can do this, we can do that, we could open a business up for you, I'm like, dad, I don't want no f***ing money, I want to box but he said 'well you can't'." Then it was a phone call from another fighter who had his career cut short due to a brain injury which sparked his move into coaching. 'Spencer Oliver rang me up and it was his idea,' said Farrell. 'The People's Gym' was born and Farrell would begin to not only help the local community but create amateur champions and decent pros. He did it for a decade then opportunities further afield came up. A chance to work in Saudi Arabia was lucrative but difficult to be away from his young family. Then a message from Dubois changed everything. Don Charles, Dubois' head coach, had seen some of Farrell's pad work and liked it. o the fighter himself got in touch via Instagram as he wanted a new face in his training team after a defeat by Usyk in 2023 was followed by a big win over Jarrell Miller. Farrell moved his life to London and is one of the cogs in the machine which has seen Dubois steamroll Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua to go into this weekend's rematch with the Ukrainian as IBF heavyweight champion. 'If you asked me, did I think I'd be working with a heavyweight champion in the world or the world number five when we first started, the world no 2 behind Usyk?' he said. 'Never in a million years.' But this is just another chapter in Farrell's life. He dreams of one day training a world champion in Las Vegas and fulfilling a dream he had as a fighter. But after 2012, everything is a success for Farrell. 'I can say life throws them roundabouts in there and we've just got to keep overcoming everything and just keep our heads down and just keep working hard, man,' he said. 'And everything will work out, it always does, you know what I mean?'

Unilever appoints new Ben & Jerry's CEO as battle over board's lefty politics heats up
Unilever has appointed a new CEO to lead Ben & Jerry's as its battle over the ice cream brand's lefty politics heats up, according to a report Friday. Jochanan Senf, a Dutch Unilever executive who previously managed Ben & Jerry's Europe business, will start in the new role this month after the British parent company abruptly axed former CEO David Stever, according to the Wall Street Journal. In a court filing in March, Ben & Jerry's independent board — which manages the Vermont-based company's social activism and mission — had accused Unilever of firing Stever, who started as a tour guide for the brand's Waterbury factory in 1988.

Ben & Jerry's The board — which was created and given power over management as a stipulation in the acquisition agreement when Unilever took over the company in 2000 — was not allowed to interview candidates to replace Stever, a source familiar with the matter told the Journal. The board also was excluded from the appointment process over the board's political activism – including support for anti-Trump policies and protests against Israel's handling of the war in Gaza, according to the report that cited unnamed sources. Advertisement 'Any claims that the Independent Board was excluded from the search process are simply incorrect – they have been offered to participate in good faith and to share their views, but declined to do so,' a spokesperson for the Magnum Ice Cream Company told The Post in a statement. Ben & Jerry's did not immediately respond to The Post's requests for comment. The company 'took every step to collaborate in good faith' with the board throughout the appointment process, Peter ter Kulve, who runs Unilever's ice cream unit, wrote in a memo to staff on Thursday, according to the Journal. Advertisement Unilever encouraged members of the board's appointment committee to interview candidates and share feedback, he said. 'The response from the Independent Board was to decline our requests, delay our timing and/or threaten litigation.' 4 Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen, co-founders of Ben & Jerry's, worked with a 'Get out the Vote' campaign for then-vice president Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign. Getty Images for MoveOn Unilever's firing of Stever broke its merger agreement with Ben & Jerry's, which 'protects Ben & Jerry's interest by precluding the unilateral removal of its CEO,' according to the complaint filed in March.

Unilever is planning to spin off its ice cream unit this year, renamed the Magnum Ice Cream Company. It will be listed in the Netherlands as a separate company. 4 Unilever is planning to spin off its ice cream unit, including Ben & Jerry's, and rename it the Magnum Ice Cream Company. REUTERS Earlier this year, when it announced the spin off, Unilever made clear it has no intention of selling Ben & Jerry's – despite a bid from its liberal founders. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, childhood friends from Long Island, NY, created the company – known for funky flavors like Chunky Monkey and Phish Food – in 1978. It later sold the brand to Unilever for $326 million.

Unilever cuts off millions in funding to Ben & Jerry's charity over donations to pro-Palestinian groups: report
Unilever is reportedly cutting off millions of dollars in funding to the Ben & Jerry's charitable foundation after it refused to provide audit documents about donations to pro-Palestinian groups, escalating an internal dispute between a corporate parent and its left-leaning subsidiary. Peter ter Kulve, head of Unilever's ice cream division, informed Ben & Jerry's executives via email that the foundation's trustees 'have continued to resist basic oversight' and are not cooperating with requests from corporate auditors, according to the news site Semafor. 'It represents a marked departure from the norms of charitable organizations, for whom transparency is typically a bedrock operating principle,' ter Kulve wrote in the email, which was obtained by Semafor. 4 Unilever is reportedly cutting off millions of dollars in funding to the Ben & Jerry's charitable foundation. nmann77 – The audit process is part of Unilever's ongoing effort to spin off its ice cream business, which includes the famously left-leaning Vermont-based brand. The Ben & Jerry's foundation distributed more than $5 million of Unilever's funds in 2022, mostly to progressive organizations. The foundation has operated under Unilever's ownership since the multinational acquired Ben & Jerry's in 2000. Since then, the company's outspoken political stances have frequently clashed with its corporate parent's broader business objectives. The audit has become a flashpoint in the growing dispute between Unilever and the foundation. According to Semafor, the probe into the foundation's activities has revealed a deeper turf war over the scope and nature of its charitable giving. 4 Ben & Jerry's, the Vermont-based ice cream maker, was acquired by Unilever in April 2000 for $326 million. Electric Egg Ltd. – Ter Kulve told executives that Unilever and the future independent Ben & Jerry's management team had made repeated efforts to address the foundation's concerns. These included changing the audit firm and pledging to keep certain grantee information private. 'The Foundation is a powerful force for good and has played a meaningful role in advancing the Ben & Jerry's social mission,' ter Kulve wrote. 'We remain committed to that mission.' Despite these assurances, the dispute has continued to escalate. Representatives for Unilever and Ben & Jerry's did not respond to a request for comment. The conflict between the British conglomerate — specializing in food, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products — and the Ben & Jerry's Foundation comes amid the broader plan to spin off its ice cream division, which it announced last year. 4 Peter ter Kulve, head of Unilever's ice cream division, informed Ben & Jerry's executives that the foundation's trustees 'have continued to resist basic oversight' and are not cooperating with requests from corporate auditors. Unilever The audit of the foundation was initiated as part of that process. However, what began as a standard financial review has morphed into a highly charged confrontation over governance, transparency, and political values. According to the foundation's trustees, Unilever is using the corporate restructuring process as an excuse to undermine the foundation's philanthropic work. The origins of the rift trace back at least to 2021, when Ben & Jerry's announced it would no longer sell its products in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. 4 Ben & Jerry's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute has caused headaches for corporate parent Unilever. The image above shows Israeli soldiers in the Tulkarm refugee camp on Wednesday. Nasser Ishtayeh/SOPA Images/Shutterstock Unilever responded by selling the Ben & Jerry's license for the region, a move that sparked further backlash from the brand's independent board of directors. In November, Ben & Jerry's independent directors filed a lawsuit against Unilever, accusing the parent company of silencing the ice cream maker's public statements in support of Palestinian refugees.
