Ebanie Bridges enjoyed some down time from her own boxing career to get a close view of Conor Benn’s victory over Chris van Heerden on Saturday night as she sizzled with a new selfie.
As a huge boxing fan as well as competitor, the Australian did not pass up the chance to see Benn, son of legendary Nigel and one of men’s boxing’s rising stars. Bridges would have been delighted to see Benn stop Van Heerden at Manchester Arena on Saturday. He only needed two rounds to get the knockout.
To celebrate, she posted a photo from her seat showing her stunning look in a tight top. On her Instagram, she also shared a photo with Laura Woods, Sky Sports’ presenter. Her fans were stunned by the beautiful pairing.
The ‘Blonde Bomber’ is one of the hottest names in women’s boxing right now after becoming IBF bantamweight champion at the second time of asking, beating Argentina’s Maria Cecilia Roman in March. She moved up to 8-1 in professional boxing after that win, her only loss being against Shannon Courtenay last April.
The 35-year-old, who also teaches mathematics alongside her boxing career, has garnered a reputation for her care-free, bold statements — both from her words and actions. The Aussie bombshell is famous for her willingness to strip down to her underwear before her weigh-ins. This has often caused an embarrassing reaction from Eddie Hearn.
Bridges was criticised for modeling her lingerie at weigh ins. However, she has since defended her actions and explained that she does it. “because I f***ing love it”And that “it’s the whole thing”She is able to see her thoughts and not only her outfits.

She has been the victim of social media trolls, who have used sexist vitriol against her. Bridges has been a good sport and has gained respect from many in the sporting community.
An anonymous individual contacted her directly, and she replied: “Hahaha you women are so funny.. you think you can box LOL most of all it look like two blind people fighting eachother but hey.. it is 2020 and the world have to be soooo political correctly so of course women can box. They can also play soccer hahahahahahaha.”
Bridges, Leeds United fan, was not one to shy away from a battle of words and took a screenshot of it and posted it to her Story with the caption: “Old mate Jasper needs a root I think,”New Zealand’s slang for sex is which is known as slang. After this brutal demolishment, it’s easy to see why she is now the star of women’s boxing.
