Christy Martin, a legendary female boxer who amassed a career record of 49-5-3 (31 KOs), has been hospitalized after being shot and stabbed yesterday in her Orange County, Fla. home, according to a TMZ report.
The 42-year-old former boxing champion and cover of a 1996 "Sports Illustrated" reportedly was able to escape from her home after the attack and wave down a passing motorist. After she was rushed to the hospital, she managed to tell police that the attacker was her husband, James Martin, according to the TMZ report.
The report goes on to state that James Martin is still at large and they are currently "on the hunt" for the suspected attacker.
Don King, Martin's former promoter told TMZ, "I am shocked and saddened to see this happen to Christy. I send my prayers and well wishes."

Are they sure Christy is a girl. That picture doesn't make her look like one.
Maybe that
s what started the fight, jus sayun'
Your an idiot, jus saying. Jus saying, one of the all time most stupid sayings, only surpassed by "whatever". Someone was beaten, stabbed, etc., and your joking about it? You might want to spend some time today thinking about the meaning of Thanksgiving. Obviously it's slipped by you to this point in life.
You eat chiet*, dumb azz fuk. This is not something to joke about.
We will pray for you Christy, I drive by your gym in Apopka all the time...may both your healing, and justice for your attacker be swift
as frank barone would say"HOLY CRAP"
The minute I read the headline I hoped it wasn't domestic violence. It appears it is. I am sorry for the pain and suffering this woman is enduring. She has dedicated herself to her sport and her gym. I'm aware of no negative publicity regarding her. Shame on the snide comments of the ignorant posters, thinking they are somehow humorous while this woman lies in a hospital bed during the Thanksgiving Holidays...I wish her a speedy recovery.
Yah right! I agree for the concern. Sorry for the women also. But I'm proud of her.
thats a girl ?
you're a human?
Sounds 2 me like she was just askin' for trouble and she didn't like the answer she got. Serves that hefer right for messin', now she gonna she gonna have 2 learn a lesson the hard way. A blackman ain't gonna put up with all that dramma. Like 1 of my daddys used 2 say 'Son you mess wit tha bull you gonna get the horn" & he show was right about that.She lucky 2 be half alive, but I guess half is better then none. She fights like a girl, anyways.
as a proud nubian prince i take offense at your posting, i would never put my hands on a white queen unless it was to caress her nubile body.
Obvious troll is racist.
Obvious racist troll is obvious and racist.
Huzzah for double posts. Damn you, Fanhouse.
that's a girl that would whip all of our a**es!
bad enough a man has to put his hands on a woman but to shoot and stab her? i guess the puck had no other way to prove his manhood
What the hell was he on some meth
Seriously? She is shot, stabbed and hospitalized and the best you mental midgets have to offer is to whine about how she looks? Geez...... Hope things work out for her as best they can.
The Man PROBABLY GOT TIRED OF FETTING BEAT UP BY HER!
