Kerry Pharr has been featured on CTN’s "Herman and Sharron Bailey Program", LeSea Broadcasting’s "Harvest Show", TCT’s "Rejoice Program", CW Network’s "Know the Cause" and in Canada, Crossroads "100 Huntley Street." He has also been interviewed on local radio and TV programs throughout the United States and Canada. Pharr is a speaker, author, television host of the Christian program "In Your Corner" and teacher with a heart for helping those who have been beaten down by the circumstances of life. Kerry pulls no punches when he speaks of overcoming addictions and adversities, because his life was literally turned around by his faith in Christ. The victim of sexual abuse as a child, Pharr also grew up fighting with an angry spirit. A self-described juvenile delinquent, he found redemption in the awesome power of faith in Jesus Christ. He turned his fistic prowess into a successful career teaching young men to box. He rubbed shoulders with such boxing greats as Muhammad Ali, "Big" John Tate, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas "the Hitman" Hearns and George Foreman. Pharr became a beacon of light in a seedy sport that famed writer Jimmy Cannon once called "the red light district of sports."Former lightweight champion Sean O'Grady once said that "Kerry Pharr is one of the good guys in professional boxing."
