Bridges, 36, called out Fury and his ability to be able to have apparent fight talks going on with every fighter on the planet, while at the same time not squaring off against any.

The IBF female bantamweight champ, better known as The Blonde Bomber, even called for her own shot against Fury seeing as though everyone else is reported to be in talks for his belt.

“So Tyson fury goes to Aus for a fight night and the promotion give him more attention than the fighters fighting,” she wrote on Twitter.

“And now all of a sudden both Demsey McKean and Jai opetai think they gonna fight him. I just can’t deal … I wonder who else he has told he gonna fight … he is in A LOT of talks With A LOT of boxers thinking they almost signing deals …. everyone around the world thinks they getting a shot.

“He should fight me next, send me a contract.”

After defeating Derek Chisora via knockout in December, Fury had talks with Oleksandr Usyk break down for their undisputed heavyweight championship fight.

Usyk slammed the Brit for being unrealistic with what he was offering for the fight which ultimately led the fight to fail.

Andy Ruiz was reportedly offered a shot at the belt, but wanted to much money (according to Fury).

Zhilei Zhang was quickly taken off the table after Joe Joyce triggered the rematch clause following the shock win from the Chinese monster.

That left Anthony Joshua who has once again been linked with a heavyweight showdown against Fury with talks reigniting this week, according to ESPN.

It means the British battle could be set to take place in September with the champ reportedly telling his camp to get it locked in.

ESPN’s Mike Coppinger reported a monster heavyweight double-header in December in Saudi Arabia is still being explored.

It would see Fury finally take on Usyk with Joshua squaring off against Deontay Wilder.

Bridges made headlines last week after stealing the spotlight away from a blockbuster boxing showdown after setting tongues wagging by posing alongside former UFC fighter Conor McGregor.

The Aussie baited fans with cheeky captions as she shared photos of the pair standing together ringside at the Katie Taylor-Chantelle Cameron title fight in Dublin on Sunday morning.

Photos of the pair quickly whipped around social media, sending fans into a frenzy.

Bridges however revealed she felt McGregor had “manhandled” her throughout the photos being taken.

The former western Sydney schoolteacher was seen smiling throughout the exchange, but a cheeky Twitter post suggests there may have ben more going on.

Bridges shared a side-on photo with a caption “Cute pic”.

She shared the same photo on her Instagram stories with a caption of “Champs”.

One boxing commentator responded by writing: “He looks like he’s manhandling you in every picture”.

Bridges, who holds the IBF female bantamweight title, responded by posting: “I felt like he was ngl. Lol”.
