Boxing icons like Muhammad Ali , Mike Tyson , and others have often made their way onto the silver screen through biopics. Actors have tried to portray these icons as well as they could, and this time, it was Sydney Sweeney’s turn. The 28-year-old portrayed the former WBC champion Christy Martin in the movie titled ‘Christy’ , which has created an itch in her to get inside the boxing ring.
When it comes to female actors, only Kali Reis stands out as a boxer who later jumped into an acting career. But no actor has come to boxing and competed in a real fight, although there have been quite a few who underwent proper boxing training. Sydney Sweeney could be the first actress to compete in a boxing ring because she’s open to doing it for charity.
