Sydney Sweeney Brings ‘Christy’ To TIFF
Sydney Sweeney premiered her new film, Christy, at the Toronto International Film Festival this past weekend. The young actress looked to be in good spirits as she hit the carpet to promote her new film.
Based on the “…true story of Christy Martin’s rise to become America’s most well known female boxer in the 1990s. A naturally gifted fighter, her life transformed in 1989 when she met her manager, and later husband, Jim Martin. Breaking boundaries, she became the first woman to sign with iconic promoter Don King, and the only female boxer to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Her charisma, good looks and resilience in the ring won her an avid fanbase and propelled her to become welterweight champion. But behind the well-honed public persona, she tackled personal demons, toxic relationships, and a brutal attempt on her life.”
