Video: Sydney Sweeney Turns Up the Heat in Sparring Session with Boxing Legend Christy Martin

Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney is set to portray boxing legend Christy Martin in a biopic scheduled to hit theaters sometime in 2025.

Last year, Sweeney showed off her incredible transformation from blonde bombshell to a muscled-out brunette in preparation for her role as the former WBC female super welterweight champion.

Now, courtesy of TMZ Sports, we have our first footage of Sweeney showing off her skills in the ring during a playful sparring session with ‘The Coal Miner’s Daughter.’

TMZ also obtained photos from the set featuring Sweeney sporting a white blazer while gazing at the April 1996 issue of Sports Illustrated, which featured Martin on the cover.
