Reading Time: < 1 minute

Black Bear Pictures has released an official trailer for Christy. The upcoming sports biopic chronicles the life of former professional boxer Christy Martin, from her rise to become America’s most well-known female boxer in the 1990s to her husband’s attempt to murder her in 2010.

Sydney Sweeney portrays Christy Martin in Christy, leading an ensemble cast that includes Ben Foster, Katy O’Brian, Merritt Wever, Ethan Embry, and Chad L. Coleman, among others.

Plot Synopsis:

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 in theaters on November 7, 2025.
