Sydney Sweeney Eyes Charity Boxing Match as Christy Martin Offers to Promote

Her comments surface days before the biopic “Christy” reaches U.S. theaters on Nov. 7.

Overview

  • Sweeney told Sportscasting she would “totally do a charity bout” after immersing herself in the role of boxing pioneer Christy Martin.
  • Martin has indicated she would sign and promote Sweeney for a potential matchup, though no bout has been announced.
  • Sweeney teased a pay-per-view and kept any opponent undisclosed, saying she can take a punch and would not quit.
  • She trained for about two and a half months with daily boxing and weight sessions, gaining roughly 35 pounds for the role.
  • Sweeney says on‑set fighting led to injuries, including a concussion, as the film heads into its Nov. 7 U.S. theatrical release with her also credited as a producer.
