Boxing legend Christy Martin is excited that actress Sydney Sweeney will portray her in an upcoming biopic. Martin, thrilled about Sweeney's combat sport background, believes it will add authenticity to the boxing scenes. Although she had no role in the casting process, Martin looks forward to training Sweeney, especially on perfecting the left hook.
The film aims to highlight more than Martin's boxing career, focusing also on her personal struggles, including surviving a murder attempt and her journey with her sexuality. Martin hopes the movie will raise awareness about domestic violence and inspire viewers with her underdog story. She also expressed interest in making a cameo appearance to connect with her fans.
