“I don’t usually write much in captions, but this movie and experience, in my opinion, requires more than just a few words,” Sweeney wrote. “We finished filming the Christy Martin story and it was one of the most emotional and transformative experiences of my life. Christy’s journey is very inspiring and having her by my side during this process was simply surreal. the place where I looked at her standing at the monitors and cheering us on, and I just got so emotional, knowing what she had been through, what she had to go through to be there in that moment – I wanted it. cry.

To the incredible team in Charlotte, thank you for giving this project your all. I will miss you very much!! Your hard work, long hours and dedication brought this story to life, and we couldn’t have done it without you. To my fellow cast members, especially Ben, thank you for your talent, your tirelessness, and for inspiring me to dig even deeper every single day. And David, our fearless Aussie, thank you for being the steady and passionate leader we all leaned on.

This story is much more than just a movie. It is a testament to resilience, survival and finding the strength to continue the fight. I can’t wait for you all to see it – not only because I’m proud of the transformation and the work I put into it, but because Christy’s story deserves to be told. And yes, you’ll see me kicking some serious ass (like seriously kicking some ass) ((like I enjoyed it a little too much when I kicked some ass haha)), but most importantly, you You will witness a story that is as powerful as the woman who lived it. I will carry this experience with me forever. Can’t wait to share more :)”
