The first official image of Sydney Sweeney, 27, in the role of the legendary US boxer Christy Martin was released on Tuesday (22), and the transformation of the actress impresses. Still unleashed, the biography directed by David Michôd is scheduled to premiere in November 2025 in the theaters of the United States.
In the image, Sweeney appears sweaty and exhausted in the center of the ring, celebrating a victory – a portrait of intensity that marked the career of boxer Christy Martin, one of the greatest references of women’s boxing. She worked professionally between 1989 and 2012, winning the world title of the WBC super half-middle category in 2009. She made history as the first woman to be included in the Nevada boxing Hall of Fame and later also joined the Hall of International Fame.
The biography promises to go beyond those made in the ring, also portraying striking moments of the athlete’s personal life. In 2010, Martin was the victim of an attempted murder from his then ex-husband after asking for divorce. She was stabbed several times and shot but survived the attack. The perpetrator was sentenced to 25 years in prison and died in jail in 2024.
On the rise in Hollywood, Sydney Sweeney was chosen by the director who praised the actress for acting in the series “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus”. She also acted in the movies “Once upon a time in… Hollywood” (2019), “All Less You” (2023), “Madame Teia” (2024) and “Immaculate” (2024). In a recent interview with TMZ, Sweeney said she won 13 kg of muscle mass in her preparations to live Martin.
