Sponsorship LevelsWith 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.
