Cast and Crew of Christy

Christy

Christy Martin 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. 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.

Sydney Sweeney gives her all in what is ultimately a formulaic, underdog sports movie. She subsumes her blonde, blue-eyed beauty beneath a brunette mullet and brown contacts to recreate Martin’s look as she rose to stardom in the ‘90s. (Extra special kudos to costume designer Christina Flannery for finding a wide variety of hideous floral prints for the character to wear in an effort to appear feminine.) The star of “Euphoria” and “Anyone But You” glammed down and bulked up for her most demanding role yet, and rose to the physical and emotional challenges of playing this tough but troubled fighter.
