Actress Sydney Sweeney graced the cover of the most recent issue of 'Sports Illustrated' amid her press run after the release of her boxing movie, 'Christy'.
Sweeney adorned the front of the magazine, alongside Christy Salters Martin, to mark her first appearance on the cover.
The 'Euphoria' star played the titular role as Martin, the former American female boxer who was a pioneer for women in the sport and later was nearly murdered by her manager-turned-husband, James.
