'The Coal Miner's Daughter' Christy Martin, talks upcoming biopic starring Sydney Sweeney
Although the movie does not yet have a title, it is set to release this November, and superstar Sydney Sweeney will be portraying the world-renowned boxer.
Martin gained fame for her impressive record in the ring, along with breaking gender barriers within boxing to help establish female boxing as it is today.
Martin discussed her life in the ring, along with the disparities she faced as a young gay woman from a small town in West Virginia.
The biopic will focus on Martin's upbringing in a relatively conservative family, which ultimately caused her to hide who she was, turning to boxing as an outlet. The film will dive into he hardships she had to overcome, including her nightmarish marriage, and getting back on her feet.
Martin expressed her excitement for Sweeney and believes that she will do her character justice while remaining true to her story.
As for the Boxing Hall of Fame Ceremony, the festivities will kick off this Thursday, June 5, with the parade of champions (with Sydney Sweeney as the Grand Marshall) and the hall of fame induction ceremony happening on Sunday, June 8.

After weeks of hints, Carey announced the title and release date for her upcoming album in a post on Instagram Monday morning. The video shows Carey donning all black with sky-high patent leather stiletto boots, sauntering into the room with her long hair flowing in the wind. Behind her, a screen lights up, revealing the new title. In the background, a snippet from the album's title track can be heard. It's called 'Here For It All' and will be released on Sept. 26. Some of the singer/ songwriter's famous friends flooded the comment section with excitement. 'OH MY GOSH!!!! Another vocal bible to devour!! I'm so excited!' wrote Jordin Sparks. Supermodel Heidi Klum left three emojis: a crown, butterfly and heart. On Sunday, the 'Elusive Chanteuse' dropped a teaser on social media for the announcement that was dubbed #MC16. It was a video montage showing all of Carey's album covers, with each one numbered. When number 16 showed up, a blank white screen appeared. 'Greatest Of All Time!!!' Carey's ex-husband Nick Cannon wrote on the post. In June, Carey released the first single off the album called ' Type Dangerous.' The corresponding music video featured YouTube sensation MrBeast. 'Here For It All' is Carey's first album in seven years. Her last album was 2018's 'Caution.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
