Overview

• Sweeney gained over 30 pounds through a strict regimen of weight training, kickboxing and tailored nutrition over three and a half months.
• She performed every boxing sequence herself and took real punches on camera to capture Martin’s in-ring intensity.
• After filming she had just seven weeks to shed the added weight before returning to shoot Euphoria’s third season.
• Ben Foster stars as James Martin in the untitled biopic that chronicles Christy Martin’s WBC super welterweight title victory and her survival of a 2010 murder attempt.
• Principal photography has wrapped and the project moved into post-production following a June 8 reunion between Sweeney and Martin at the Parade of Champions.
