With Special Guest Christy Martin
We are proud to host Christy Martin, survivor and thriver after years of violence. Originally from Mullens, WV, this hometown girl rose to fame after a joke entrance into a Toughman competition. Her career speaks for itself with 49 wins, 31 by KO. Don King signed her as his first female under-card ever. But more was happening behind the scenes at home that Christy couldn’t speak openly about. Her story is now a Netflix documentary.
