\u201cChristy\u201d stars Sweeney as Martin, who was the first big breakout star of women\u2019s boxing in the 1990s. She fought in a Mike Tyson undercard and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. A Netflix documentary, \u201cDeal With the Devil,\u201d and Martin\u2019s autobiography, \u201cFighting for Survival,\u201d detailed the abuse she suffered outside the ring<\/a> at the hands of her then-husband and manager Jim Martin, who was convicted of attempted murder after stabbing and shooting her in 2010.<\/p>\n Christy Martin won her last boxing championship in Syracuse<\/a> in 2009 and was part of the first female class inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2020.
