Sharing her latest look via social media for her role in the upcoming Christy Martin biopic, the 27-year-old stunned onlookers with her drastic departure from her default hairstyle. The actress posed along the real Christy Martin, America's top female boxer in the 1990s, while sporting the dark wig, baggy dark-wash blue jeans, a navy collarless knit, an oversized hoodie and an extra large blue Harrington jacket. A far cry from her signature Miu Miu ensembles.
She also shared an image of a pair of boxing gloves, signed by the boxing star thanking the Washington native for her portrayal.
Christy Martin, popularly known as ‘The Coal Miner's Daughter,’ remains a pioneering figure in women's boxing. Born on June 12, 1968, in Mullens, West Virginia, she gained prominence in the nineties, becoming one of the first women to achieve mainstream recognition in the sport.
With a powerful punch and relentless determination, the athlete compiled a stellar professional record, winning numerous titles and breaking barriers. Her bouts, including a famous fight on a Mike Tyson undercard, helped legitimise women's boxing. She also survived a near-fatal attack by her ex-husband in 2010 and has since become a motivational speaker and boxing promoter.
In her emotional caption, Sydney wrote: “I don’t usually write a lot in my captions but this movie and experience I feel needs more than just a few words. We have wrapped filming Christy Martin’s story and it has been one of the most emotional, transformative experiences of my life.”
