Untold: Deal with the Devil

Untold: Deal with the Devil is a documentary about the boxer Christy Martin, who broke barriers in a male-dominated sport while her public image concealed a private life marked by abuse and danger. The film examines how her rise in boxing contrasted with the difficulties she faced outside the ring, drawing on her own account and those of people around her.

Laura Brownson directed the film, the first of two features she made, followed by The Lionheart in 2023. Christy Martin appears as herself, alongside fellow boxers Mike Tyson, Deirdre Gogarty, Lisa Holewyne and Laila Ali, with archival footage of promoter Don King. The film runs 77 minutes and was produced by Propagate Content and Stardust Frames.
