Prizefighter Christy Salters Martin details her 'sports story turned love story' in 'Untold: Deal with the Devil,' released last week.
“Throughout my life, the only place I felt safe was in the boxing ring,” Martin, now 53, explains in “Deal with the Devil,” which aired last week. “Boxing was my survival. It was preparing me for how I was going to escape my own destiny.”
Brownson said she was introduced to Martin via Maclain and Chapman Way, the creative duo behind Netflix’s “Christy Salters Martin appears on"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in 1996. And though the director knew little about the physical intricacies of boxing, she was eager to “dig deeper than the headlines” and showcase Martin’s “incredible bravery outside the ring.”
“I was surprised to come away with a newfound appreciation for the incredible athleticism, strategy, skill and hard work involved in top-level boxing,” Brownson told HuffPost. “I also was thrilled to discover that despite Christy’s traumatic experience at the end of her first marriage, she has now found true love and genuine partnership. And who doesn’t like a sports story turned love story?”
