Can boxing help domestic abuse survivors regain their self respect? Daniella Smith, a former world champion boxer, believes so. She runs Diamonds in the Ring, a boxing gym for women. And, many of the women who train there are former clients of women's refuges. Shonie is one of them. She survived horrific abuse at the hands of her former partner, who was jailed for his abuse. We follow her as she trains to fight in one of Diamonds in the Ring's charity boxing matches. It's the second time she's doing it. But her training schedule is not going as planned and Daniella is worried if Shonie is prepared to box on fight nigh. Yet, on the night after a tentative start, she pulls through. All in all, Diamonds in the Rind raises over $30,000 for women's refuges that night. And their charity doesn't stop there. The episode ends with Simonne following Daniella from the boxing gym to Manukau Women's Refuge, with car loads of Christmas presents. Simonne looks on as Daniella and her team bring some much needed Christmas cheer to the refuge.
