Winning a Boxing Title while on the Run

Available for over a year

Martin Murray is a boxer, with British and Commonwealth titles to his name, and an eye on the world title in his category. But back when he was younger he used to get into a lot of trouble. When he won his first big title, fifteen years ago, he was on the run from the law. He had been convicted of street robbery, and was serving the last part of his sentence at home when he decided to give the police the slip. He has since written a book about how he turned his life around called Sinner and Saint. (Photo credit: Martin Rose/Getty Images.)
