This article presents a biographical narrative of Christy Martin, a former world champion boxer who survived being stabbed and shot by her trainer/husband. Rooted in a sociological imagination, this biographic research chronicles Martin’s boxing career and its entanglements with gender-based violence. The boxing industry has a widely acknowledged, yet under-reported, problem with men’s violence against women. This article aims to illustrate that women’s boxing should be critically examined for the ways in which it functions both as a site of and a sanctuary from gender-based violence. Within this paper, I draw from media coverage of Christy Martin’s boxing career, over 700 pages of transcripts from the subsequent criminal trial, an interview with Martin, as well as my own research in women’s boxing, including work with survivors of domestic violence.

本文介绍了克里斯蒂·马丁（Christy Martin）的传记叙事，克里斯蒂·马丁曾是世界冠军拳击手，但遭到教练/丈夫的刺伤和枪击后幸存下来。这项传记研究扎根于社会学的想象力，记载了马丁的拳击生涯及其与基于性别的暴力的纠缠。拳击界普遍认为，男人对妇女的暴力行为存在问题，但未被报道。本文旨在说明，应该认真检查女子拳击，以了解其作为基于性别的暴力活动的场所和庇护所的方式。在这篇论文中，我从克里斯蒂·马丁（Christy Martin）拳击事业的媒体报道，后续刑事审判的700多个笔录，马丁的采访以及我对女子拳击的研究中汲取了灵感，
