Christy (2025) is a powerful biographical sports drama about legendary boxer Christy Martin, portrayed by Sydney Sweeney. The film traces her rise from humble beginnings in West Virginia to becoming one of the most celebrated female boxers of the 1990s. Under the guidance of her trainer and later husband Jim Martin, she breaks barriers in a male-dominated sport, making history with her fierce determination and knockout success.
As Christy’s boxing career soars, she battles personal demons off the ring—struggling with abuse, identity, and betrayal. Then comes her most harrowing challenge: in 2010, her world is upended by a violent attack that threatens her life. But she refuses to be silenced. Her journey becomes more than just about sports—it’s about resilience, autonomy, and reclaiming glory. After its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, the movie is scheduled for theatrical release on November 7, 2025.
