Guess who’s over the moon about Sydney Sweeney stepping into her gloves for a knockout biopic? None other than the legendary Christy Martin herself! In a chat with TMZ that was as exclusive as ringside seats, the boxing champ couldn’t contain her excitement about Sydney’s casting. Why? Well, it turns out Sydney’s not just another pretty face from Euphoria; she’s got some serious MMA mojo.
While Christy admitted she didn’t have a say in the casting ring, she’s itching to give Sydney the inside scoop on stepping into her boxing boots. And it’s not just chitchat—Christy’s getting down and dirty, offering up some championship-grade training to make sure Sydney’s got the punch for the part.
And in true champ fashion, Christy didn’t pull any punches when she shut down those skeptical Hollywood types. “Young, hot, talented—Sydney’s got it all!” she declared, brushing off any doubts like they were featherweight jabs. Plus, she’s convinced this flick will be a knockout, destined to become a classic for generations. “In 20 years, it’ll be mandatory viewing for fathers and daughters everywhere,” she quipped, ready to take on any doubters in the ring or the box office.
But Sydney’s not just sitting pretty in her corner. Nope, she’s diving headfirst into this role like it’s the final round of a championship match. In an interview with Deadline, she spilled the beans about her combat-ready past, boasting years of grappling and kickboxing under her belt. “I’ve been craving some ring action since I was knee-high,” she confessed, eager to sweat it out and beef up for the part. And she knows it won’t be a cakewalk—Christy’s story packs a punch, both physically and emotionally. But hey, who doesn’t love a challenge, right? Bring on the sweat, tears, and maybe a few bruised egos along the way!
