GRACE. GRIT. GLORY. 💪🔥

In this exclusive conversation, Cynthia and Jeandra sit down with the legendary Christy “The Coal Miner’s Daughter” Martin — trailblazer, Hall-of-Fame, world champion, advocate, and survivor.

Christy opens up about her new biopic “CHRISTY”, starring the incredibly talented Sydney Sweeney and produced by Black Bear Pictures, hitting theaters November 7, 2025. 🎞️

From her early days under Don King, whom she calls “the greatest promoter in the world,” to making history as the co-main event on the Mike Tyson vs. Frank Bruno II card, Christy relives the moments that changed women’s boxing forever. 🥊

She reflects on the bloodiest and boldest bout ever — Christy Martin vs. Deirdre Gogarty (1996) — and how Mike Tyson’s platform then compares to Jake Paul giving today’s fighters like Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano their spotlight moments.

Christy also opens up about mental health, resilience, and survival — and how Sydney Sweeney’s emotional, powerhouse portrayal of her life was so raw and real that it brought Christy to tears. 💔✨

She shares how she faced her darkest days, being stabbed, shot, and beaten — and how her true 50th win was getting back up and living her truth.

Plus, Christy reacts to Laila Ali crediting her as the reason she became a boxer (not her dad, Muhammad Ali!), and she sounds off on Claressa Shields and the importance of giving respect to the pioneers who paved the way.

Don’t miss her hilarious “Quick Hits” lightning round — and her answer to which fighter she’d love to promote next! 🎤

🎬 “CHRISTY” is an emotional, inspiring, and powerful film — and Sydney Sweeney delivers a phenomenal performance, bringing Christy’s journey of courage, pain, and triumph to life in unforgettable fashion.

👉 Watch, share, and celebrate one of the most influential women in boxing history.
