First trailer for boxing biopic Christy starring Sydney Sweeney

September 11, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (read our ★★★★ review here), the first trailer has debuted for the biographical sports drama Christy.

Directed by David Michôd, the film stars Sydney Sweeney as Christy Martin and tells the story of her journey to becoming one of America’s most successful female boxers.

Joining Sweeney in the cast are Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, Katy O’Brian, Ethan Embry, Jess Gabor, Chad Coleman, Bryan Hibbard, Tony Cavalero, and Gilbert Cruz. Watch the trailer below…

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.
