Boxing stars Ebanie Bridges and Kell Brook have announced the birth of their child.

Bridges, 38, shared the happy news on social media with a touching post, as The Sun reports.

The boxer shared a series of photos of her son Ezerra Ray Brook being held by her and Brook, also 38, on Instagram.

The Aussie bruiser described Ezerra Ray as her “prince” and the “first baby in boxing history to be born to two world champions”.

“Our little champ … First baby in boxing history to be born to two world champions (no pressure tho).”

Bridges’ post attracted almost 7,000 likes in one hour as the boxing stars’ fans flooded the comment section.

One supporter posted: “This kid is the golden child.”

Another commented: “Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful.”

A third wrote: “Congratulations Ebanie, your life’s about to getting so much better. Kids are a true blessing.”

Matchroom Boxing also shared the following statement: “Congratulations to you all.”

The boxers have apparently been dating for three years when Bridges sensationally claimed that Brook had split with wife Lindsey Myers.

She then teased having children with the Sheffield icon when she took a photo of the two of them and joked “imagine the kids”.

More of the photos Bridges posted to Instagram of the new bub.

Bridges (9-2 record), who is from Sydney, held the IBF bantamweight world title in March 2022 and defended it once before a unanimous defeat to Miyo Yoshida in December 2023, which was her last fight to date.

Englishman Kell retired in 2022 with an impressive 40-3 record, winning his own IBF welterweight belt back in 2014 and then retaining it for two years.

He also lost a WBO welterweight world title bout against Terence Crawford in 2020 and had one last fight – a victory over Amir Khan in February 2022 – before retiring.
