Ms. Allred attended a bond hearing for the husband of famed female boxer Christy Martin. Her husband James Martin is charged with attempted first degree murder with a firearm, attempted first-degree murder with a weapon and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm with a weapon. These chargers were filled on behalf of Ms. Martin, the alleged victim in this case. Gloria is representing Christy. She finds her story to be remarkable considering that even with a bullet lodged her in back, and with all of her recent trauma, the female boxing champion is focused on getting back to training for what might become Martin’s 50th boxing win.
“She has suffered greatly because of what she had to endure on November 23rd of this year. She had three serious stab wounds, a punctured lung, other injuries, she still has a bullet in her back… Even though she has a bullet in her back, she wants to fight and win her 50th fight and she’s begun to walk again, she’s hoping that her doctor will clear her to train and workout in hopes that she’ll get her next fight and her 50th win and she feels she can do it even with a bullet still lodged in her back. The fact that she’s determined to achieve that 50th win in a fight under these circumstances I find to be truly remarkable and truly inspiring.”
