Could Sydney Sweeney's acting career be on the ropes? The Hollywood starlet is seriously considering trading her red carpet gowns for boxing gloves after portraying legendary fighter Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. But here's where it gets controversial: Sweeney isn't just talking the talk; she's walked the walk, undergoing an intense training regimen that transformed her body and ignited a passion for the sport. And this is the part most people miss: she's dead serious about stepping into the ring for real, ideally in a charity bout.
To prepare for the role, Sweeney ditched her glamorous lifestyle for a grueling routine. As she told Sportscasting.com, "For about two and a half months, I would weight train in the morning for an hour, box three hours in the middle of the day, and then another hour of weight training at night." The result? A 35-pound muscle gain and a newfound respect for the 'sweet science.' But it wasn’t just about physical transformation; Sweeney fell head over heels for the discipline and intensity of boxing.
Here’s the kicker: at one point during filming, she questioned whether she should abandon her A-list career to pursue boxing full-time. "Christy said she’d sign me up," Sweeney revealed, hinting that this dream might not be as far-fetched as it seems. While she hasn’t been approached by promoters yet, she’s already received intriguing messages from fellow boxers. And she’s confident in her ability to take a punch, insisting, "I wouldn’t quit."
But let’s pause for a moment—is this a genuine career shift or a publicity stunt? Sweeney’s dedication is undeniable, but stepping into the ring, even for charity, is no small feat. Would you bet on her making the leap? And if she does, who should she face in her debut? Sound off in the comments—this is one fight we’re all eager to see, both on and off the screen.
