""I loved it. I was able to box again, I was working out twice a day every single day. I put on 35 pounds for it. It was like I came to life," she said. "I was like, I think I might quit acting and start boxing. I loved it.""
""There was a moment in the middle of filming where I was like, 'Should I give it all up and fight, because I love this?'""
""Christy said she'd sign me up. So, this isn't as hypothetical as you actually think it is," she told SportsCasting, adding that she would "totally do a charity bout.""
""You gotta stay tuned for the pay-per-view and you'll see it.""
Sydney Sweeney trained intensively while filming Christy, a biopic about boxer Christy Martin. She returned to boxing training, working out twice daily and gaining 35 pounds for the role. The physical preparation energized her and prompted thoughts of leaving acting to fight professionally. She previously wondered during filming whether to give it all up and fight because she loved it. Christy offered to sign her up, and Sweeney expressed willingness to participate in a charity bout and take the idea seriously. Sweeney remains attached to multiple projects, including The Housemaid, Euphoria Season 3, and Scandalous.
