In this powerful episode I sit down with one of the most iconic figures in boxing history, Christy Salters Martin, the first woman ever inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. Her story is one of triumph, trauma, and unbreakable resilience.

Christy shares her journey from a small-town girl in West Virginia who learned early on to hide who she was, to becoming a boxing phenomenon headlining Pay-Per-View events alongside Mike Tyson. But behind the bright lights and roaring crowds, she was living in silence, trapped in a cycle of manipulation and abuse that nearly cost her life.

She opens up about the years of control and fear she endured, where every move was monitored and every word recorded. When she finally decided to leave, she didn’t care if it cost her life. With remarkable courage, she found the strength to rise, fight back, and survive.

Now, through her work with Christy Martin Promotions, she’s mentoring and empowering the next generation of fighters while using her voice to raise awareness about domestic violence and the importance of self-worth. Her upcoming biopic, Christy, starring Sydney Sweeney and Ben Foster, brings her story to the big screen and reminds the world that survival is the ultimate victory.

If you or someone you love is struggling with abuse or identity, please know that help is available. You are not alone.
