Aussie boxer Ebanie Bridges says ‘haters can’t get past my breasts’

Aussie boxing star Ebanie Bridges gave another fan a reality check as she revealed why critics struggle to take her seriously.

Australian boxer Ebanie Bridges has hit out at “haters” who doubt her skills in the ring because of her appearance.

The “Blonde Bomber”, 35, became the IBF bantamweight world champion by beating Maria Roman in Leeds last month.

This week The Sun reports Bridges posted a clip on Twitter of her unloading on Roman in the ring, leading one fan to reveal he was “completely wrong” about her ability.

In response Bridges tweeted: “You musta been distracted by my boobs and couldn’t see the skill.

“Don’t worry your (sic) not alone, lots of haters out there can’t get past the boobs … Glad you can see you was (sic) wrong.”

Bridges is one of the biggest figures in women’s boxing but her glamorous side and weigh-in antics — often dressing in lingerie before fights — means the Aussie’s ability can get overlooked.

And she is clearly fed up at not being taken seriously, having hit out at the doubters after defeating Roman, who had held the world title since 2017.

Bridges told DAZN immediately after the fight: “Can I f***ing fight or not? F*** you guys who think I can’t fight.

“I can f***ing fight. I can box, I can fight, and I can look hot on the scales so hopefully, I’ve proved a lot of doubters wrong.

“I feel proud of myself and I feel extremely happy because it means everything I have sacrificed and all the work I’ve done has been worth it.”

Bridges’ record shows she certainly can certainly walk the walk, having won eight fights and lost just one since turning professional in 2019.

The fighter only took up boxing in 2016, having worked as a ring girl previously.
