“From Glam to Grit: Sydney Sweeney’s Jaw-Dropping Boxing Transformation Leaves Fans Utterly Shocked!”

The boxer’s life was marked by a near-fatal turn on November 23, 2010, when her husband, James V. Martin, viciously stabbed and shot her in their Apopka, Orange County, USA, home, leaving her for dead. 

Despite the brutal attack, Christy survived, and James was arrested a week later after attempting to take his own life. 

In 2012, James was convicted of attempted second-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

ADVERTISEMENTNow remarried to her former boxing rival Lisa Holewyne, Christy leads Christy Martin Promotions, a successful company organizing boxing events across the southern US.

“The film is about Christy as a young gay woman in small-town West Virginia in the 1990s,” David Michôd explained. 

He further told Deadline: “She came from a relatively conservative family and wasn’t allowed to be who she was so she used boxing as a vehicle to express herself and her rage. 

“She had to make some dangerous and fundamental compromises in her life, the most important of which was marrying an incredibly dangerous man.”
