Added on November 14, 2025 inEntertainment News Cards, Movie News Cards

So, here’s a twist worthy of a cosmic soap opera — Sydney Sweeney, once riding high on whispers of an Oscar nod for her fierce turn as boxer Christy Martin, now finds herself dodging more than just gloves after the biopic stumbled in the box office ring. Funny how the stars align sometimes, isn’t it? Mercury’s antics probably caused a little shuffle in the spotlight! Yet, the ultimate tag-team partner has appeared in Christy Martin herself, stepping up to back Sydney publicly against naysayers, including some heavy-hitting critics like Ruby Rose. It’s a celestial reminder that when the universe throws punches, having the real-life champion in your corner is everything. So, what really counts – the numbers or the impact? Sydney’s answer might make you rethink the whole fight. Curious to dive deeper? LEARN MORE.

At one point, it was believed that Sydney Sweeney had a shot at an Academy Award for her performance as professional boxer Christy Martin; however, after the biopic flopped at the box office, the actress has come under scrutiny. Thankfully, Sweeney has a supporter in her camp, Christy Martin herself.

In a post on Instagram, Martin said, “I’ve always been a fighter. My life reflected that in every way and now I fight for others. The past few days I have seen some people attack my friend Sydney Sweeney. Syd not only worked her ass off for this film, she worked her ass off for me. For my story. For so many others suffering in silence. So I want to be clear about who Syd is. She is my friend and ally!” Always nice to have the actual person you’re playing in your corner.

One of the people who has attacked Sweeney is former Batwoman actress Ruby Rose, who stated that she was once attached to the project. “You’re a cretin and you ruined the film,” Rose said. “Christy deserved better.”

Although the film may not be performing well at the box office, Sweeney remains “deeply proud” of it. “Proud of the film David made. Proud of the story we told. Proud to represent someone as strong and resilient as Christy Martin,” she said. “This experience has been one of the greatest honors of my life. This film stands for survival, courage, and hope. Through our campaigns, we’ve helped raise awareness for so many affected by domestic violence. We all signed on to this film with the belief that Christy’s story could save lives.

She continued, “Thank you to everyone who saw, felt, and believed and will believe in this story for years to come. If Christy gave even one woman the courage to take her first step toward safety, then we will have succeeded. So yes I’m proud. why? Because we don’t always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact. And Christy has been the most impactful project of my life. Thank you christy. I love you.

Our own Chris Bumbray did enjoy Christy, saying Sweeney delivers the goods in an “engaging” biopic, but he wondered if the “grim subject matter might limit its commercial appeal.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.
