Introduction

Setting the boxing world alight as a teen, Martin found fame, fortune and iconic status as the most successful female boxer of the 1990s. But outside the ring, she was fighting for her life. Based on a story by Katherine Fugate, screenwriters Mirrah Foulkes & David Michôd infuse the film with a deep emotional register. Director David Michôd's skill for crafting impressive set pieces is matched by Sweeney's bravado performance, thrillingly bringing the life of this incredible trailblazer to the big screen.
