During the interaction, Sydney said, “I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I\u2019m not there to talk about jeans. The movie\u2019s about Christy, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ll be there to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Christy<\/p>\n

In the biographical sports drama Christy, directed by David Mich\u00f4d, Sydney plays the titular Christy Martin, a former professional boxer. The film tells the story of Martin’s rise in the 1990s and charts her personal experiences, including her husband’s attempted murder in 2010. It is produced by Black Bear, Anonymous Content, Votiv, Fifty-Fifty Films, and Yoki. Also starring Ben Foster and Merritt Wever, the film is set to be released theatrically on November 7.<\/p>\n

In preparation for the role, Sydney underwent an intense physical transformation, gaining more than 30 pounds along with diving into months-long training. Talking about the film on the same portal, Sydney added, \u201cI was blown away that her story wasn\u2019t more known on a universal, global level because it\u2019s just one of the most harrowing and inspiring women that I\u2019ve ever met in my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival on Friday, September 5.<\/p>\n
