Synopsis: Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney) never imagined life beyond her small-town roots in West Virginia--until she discovered a knack for punching people. Fueled by grit, raw determination, and an unshakable desire to win, she charges into the world of boxing under the guidance of her trainer and manager-turned-husband, Jim (Ben Foster). But while Christy flaunts a fiery persona in the ring, her toughest battles unfold outside it--confronting family, identity, and a relationship that just might become life-or-death. Based on remarkable true events, Christy Martin's story is one of resilience, courage, and the fight to reclaim one's life.

00:00I also love transforming for characters.
00:03Getting Christy right was so important.
00:05I had months of training.
00:07I had a boxing trainer, a weight trainer.
00:10I'd be put in the middle of a ring and I'd have nine girls
00:12and they would just drill me with all the fights
00:15one after the other for like two hours.
00:17I think that that's why Sydney Sweeney's doing such an awesome job
00:20because she got to be this totally different person
00:23that none of you expected.
00:25She wasn't the beautiful, sexy Sydney.
00:28Sydney, she was the tough, rugged Christy in this movie.
00:33It was a 360 transformation.
00:35She walked like me, she talked like me, she even had my mannerisms.
00:39I don't think I've found my thing.
00:40I bet most people go their entire lives and they don't even know what their thing is.
00:43Christy, you are absolutely incredible and I'm so honored.
00:47You're so inspirational and so being able to have her by my side
00:52during this process was a dream.
00:55Transforming into Christy has been the role of a lifetime.
00:59a giant girl and so on.
01:00A tragicfit.
01:01For more and more years of play,
01:03I'd be excited to hear her by my side.
01:03...
01:05Personally, she doesn't believe it's serious.
01:07It's a caricature and so on.
01:09I don't know who she will.
01:09disparities at my terrible practice.
01:11Maybe how am I trying to find her?
01:11It's a better way, and I will try for sure.
01:14But I'll do it.
01:16I'm ..
01:18And I've always been able to find her way through my experience,
01:20and have to find her way.
01:21And not be beautiful.
01:23I know ...
01:24Terrible.
