A new documentary will tell the story of the remarkable life and untimely death of Moss Side boxing hero Phil Martin
Using rare archive footage and featuring interviews with several Manchester boxing legends, M14: A Moss Side Story looks at how how Phil, a former British title contender in the 1970s, built Champs Camp in the aftermath of the 1981 Moss Side riots. Driven by a fearsome sense of drive and discipline, within a few years he'd established a stable of champions and restored pride to the streets of Moss Side. But his success was cut short in devastating fashion.
In 1993 Phil revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer.
