CHRISTY: Syndey Sweeney Gloves Up In The Official Trailer For The New Boxing Biopic
Black Bear Pictures finally announced the official trailer for Christy, the new biopictoral drama about the life of boxing athlete Christy Martin and her travails in and out of the ring. The film, screened fresh out of TIFF, is directed by David Michôd and features leading lady Syndey Sweeney whose career has surged on the big and small screen in the last five years from hit TV show “Euphoria” to 2024’s Immaculate.
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.
Christy opens on November 7. Catch the trailer:
