Life is much more peaceful these days for Martin, now 57. She says it's been a blast watching Sweeney "Hollywood's it girl" mimic her famous boxing ring antics, including sticking her tongue out at opponents. "My style was definitely 'seek and destroy,' like Mike Tyson and Joe Frazier," Martin says, reminiscing about her boxing career. "Knocking somebody out and trash-talking. It was fun."

Although the actress didn't elaborate on her connection with the topic, Sweeney went on to share why she relates to Martin's career. For Christy, the ring was her escape. It's almost like you're a caged animal inside this ring, but it's a place where she feels the most free, she said. I am definitely a caged animal in a sense. Acting is my ring. It's where I feel freedom. The set is where everything else goes quiet.
