Publisher Description
Sinner and Saint is the inspirational story of Martin Murray, St Helens' flawed yet favourite son. A promising amateur teenage boxer, Murray was drawn into a life fuelled with drugs, alcohol and street fighting. By the age of 24, he had completed four jail sentences, one of them in a notorious Cypriot prison. He still managed to win the ABA welterweight title in 2004 - while on the run! The reintroduction of boxing back into his life and a settled family life proved to be his saviour. Turning pro in 2007, Murray went on to win the Commonwealth and British middleweight titles, and challenged for the world title on no fewer than four occasions. Murray pulls no punches as he recounts his story in the most intimate and vivid way - a rollercoaster life ultimately redeemed through his success in boxing.
Customer Reviews
Top book for a top bloke.
A massive positive example how you can turn your life around.
From the lows you can bring the highs. Most kids go through the troubled rough patches with drink drugs and the law but as an example to turn it around this one is next to non.
Fair play Martin.

I’ve followed Martin for many years now both in the ring and on social media. What has become apparent is how much this man does for his family but also what a gentleman this man is. The things he does for Mad Benny, you can genuinely see he has given this man so many experiences he would have never otherwise had. Martin, I hope you win a world title, you deserve it pal.
Awsome
