CWEB Celebrity News – Acclaimed actress Sydney Sweeney, known for her transformative performances, has undergone a dramatic physical change to portray boxing legend Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. The Emmy-nominated star gained over 30 pounds of muscle to authentically embody the pioneering fighter, showcasing her unwavering dedication to her craft.
Sweeney recently revealed her striking new physique in a viral social media post, earning widespread praise for her resemblance to Martin. In a heartfelt caption, she expressed gratitude for the chance to play the iconic athlete, highlighting the intense training and mental preparation that went into the role. Although Sweeney stands slightly shorter than Martin, her added strength and mass deliver a powerful sense of realism to the performance.
A lifelong athlete, Sweeney’s transition to the boxing world came naturally. The Euphoria star trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for six years during her youth and is a frequent guest at UFC events. Her athletic background—which includes competitive skiing, wakeboarding, soccer, and softball—gave her a solid foundation for tackling the demanding physicality of the role.

Christy Martin, a trailblazer in women’s boxing, dominated the 147 to 168-pound weight classes and was one of the first female fighters inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Sweeney’s portrayal aims to honor Martin’s legacy with the grit, strength, and intensity it deserves.
While the biopic’s official title and release date have yet to be announced, anticipation is already building among fans of both Sweeney and Martin. Meanwhile, Sweeney has already shed the extra weight and muscle in preparation for her return to HBO’s Euphoria, where she’ll reprise her breakout role as Cassie.
